| Research Abstract |
DBA/2 is a strain, specifically higher response to fungal PAMPs, beta-glucan. In the present study, immunotoxicological and immunopathological rolesof fungal PAMPs were examined. From the results of this study, we have demonstratedthat DBA/2 mice is a highly sensitive strain to produce high level of inflammatory cytokinein vitro and in vito. In vitro study, DBA/2 mice produced significantly high level of inflammatory cytokines, such as GM-CSF, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha. It is highly sensitive tothe cross-linking of cytoskeleton and modulated by disrupting actin polymerization. In vivo study, producing high concentration of anti-beta-glucan antibody and induce lethal toxicity. From these findings, it is a good tool to analyze beta-glucan mediated immunotoxicological response.
