Produktinformation

• Name: Zymosan A (from Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Zymosan is prepared from the cell walls of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and consists of polysaccharide chains of various molecular weights, containing approximately 73% polysaccharide, 15% protein, 7% lipid and other inorganic components. When injected into animals, it induces inflammation and has been used for many years in inflammation and immunology research. The conditions activated include components of the complement system, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, platelet aggregation factor, and lysosomal enzymes. Zymosan preparations are often insoluble but can be made soluble for separation on DE cellulose or Sepharose to produce more active fractions.
