摘要:Tritium-labeled antitumor β-D-glucan derivative (T-labeled glucan) was prepared from the branched β-1, 3-D-glucan of an edible mushroom, Volvariella volvacea , by its periodate oxidation followed by reduction with NaBT4. Twenty-three hours after T-labeled glucan had been injected into the mouse peritoneal cavity, about 3% of the total radioactivity injected was found in the mouse serum. In spite of the fact that T-labeled glucan had no affinity to the anion-exchange column before injection, about 50% of the labeled β-D-glucan in the serum thus obtained was adsorbed onto the column. The labeled β-D-glucan fraction eluted from the column by salt gradient showed antitumor activity in vivo .
