Fungal beta-glucan interacts with vitronectin and stimulates tumor necrosis factor alpha release from macrophages.

beta-Glucans are polymers of D-glucose which represent major structural components of fungal cell walls. It was shown previously that fungi interact with macrophages through beta-glucan receptors, thereby inducing release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Additional studies demonstrated th...
