"beta-Glucans derived from fungal cell walls have potential uses as immunomodulating agents and vaccine adjuvants. Yeast glucan particles (YGPs) are highly purified Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell walls composed of beta1,6-branched beta1,3-d-glucan and free of mannans," scientists in the United States report.
