Crude B-Glucan binding protein profiling of hooded oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) and its functional assays

Abstract

A crude (B-glucan binding protein was isolated from wild oyster, Saccostrea cucullata obtained at Pantai Pandak, Chendering, Terengganu. This protein is capable of enchancing the prophenoloxidase (proPO) system activation induced by laminarin which indirectly enchance the immune system.
