Properties
Description
Lentinan-poly-sarcosine, denoted poly-sarcosine-lentinan, constructs a stealth polymer conjugate through N-methyl glycine attachment to lentinan's β-1,3-1,6-glucan framework. The PEG-mimetic hybrid preserves triple-helix conformation while prolonging circulation time for sustained thymic immune activation.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.
