Polysaccharides from the fungus <i>Inonotus obliquus</i> activate macrophages into a tumoricidal phenotype via interaction with TLR2, TLR4 and Dectin-1a

Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) may both promote and suppress tumor development. Therefore, molecules that are able to activate and repolarize these cells into a tumoricidal phenotype could be of great interest as a new strategy for cancer immunotherapy. Fungal β-glucans have been suggested as a promising way of activating TAMs, but most of the research has been carried out on particulate...
