Laminaran is a neutral water-soluble β-1-3-glucan and a typical ligand for Dectin-1 isolated from the brown alga D. dichotoma, has potent immunomodulating, radioprotective, and anticancer activities[1]. Laminaran is made up of β (1→3)-glucan with β (1→6)-branches and can be catalyzed by enzymes such as laminarinase (EC 3.2.1.6) that breaks the β (1→3) bonds[2]. Laminaran is a promising immune stimulatory molecule for use in cancer immunotherapy[3].
