title: [The immunomodulating properties of translam].
abstract: Effect of translam--beta-1,3;1,6-D-glucan on some of naturally occurring host protective mechanisms was investigated. It was shown that translam has potent biological activity: it has preventive effect on experimental bacterial infections, it stimulates absorbtion and digestion activity of mononuclear phagocytes, it effects on humoral and cell immunity. Translam had mitogenic activity.
