Abstract
A preparation containing a receptor for underivatized, aqueous soluble &bgr;(1-3)-glucan is disclosed, along with characterization of the receptor for underivatized, aqueous soluble &bgr;(1-3)-glucan. Also described are assays for identifying agents which alter the effect of underivatized, aqueous soluble &bgr;(1-3)-glucan on activation of signal transduction pathways and agents identified thereby, as well as assays for assessing the specificity of carbohydrate:glycolipid interactions.
