Inhibition assay
Laboratory protocolBeta-glucan receptor, mannan receptor and chitin receptor are blocking by a pre-treatment of DCs with the ligand antagonist laminarin (500 micrograms/ml) mannan (500 micrograms/ml) and chitin (500 micrograms/ml) respectively before exposure to fungi.
Protocol Steps:
-
DC receptor blocking
The DCs are treated with the receptor antagonist laminarin, with chitin and mannan.
-
Exposure of DC to fungi
The DC with blocking receptors are exposed to fungi.
- biomaterial type
- Glucan,
- dendritic cell,
- Fungi
