Abstract
Immunomodulating effects of a neoglycoconjugate created on the basis of alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) carbohydrate chains and synthetic protein-free carrier have been investigated. It was demonstrated that this pseudo-AGP suppressed PHA- or anti-CD3 antibody-induced lymphocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Pseudo-AGP revealed a similar antiproliferative effect as the natural AGP samples. Stimulation of the LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokine production by mononuclear cells treated with both natural and pseudo-AGP has been also demonstrated. These data show that carbohydrate chains of AGP play a crucial role in the studied biological effect realization.Entities:
