Description:Isolichenan is a cold-water soluble (1,3)-(1,4)-α-D-glucan isolated from lichen Cetraria islandica to have MW of about 6-8 kDa. Lichens produce isolichenan-type polysaccharides with considerable variation in linkage ratios as well as MW, even within the same species. Occasionally these α-glucans can be branched at O2, O3 or O6. The immunomodulating activity of isolichenan was tested in in vitro phagocytosis and anti-complementary assays, and proved to be active in both cases.The image was kindly provided by Prof Mike Guiry from Cork who runs ‘The Seaweed Site’.
