Klebsiella pneumoniae Glycoprotein

A glycoprotein complex extracted from Klebsiella pneumoniae K2O1 strain with immunostimulating property. This glycoprotein complex consists of 2 repetitive glycoprotein subunits; P1 comes from the bacterial capsule about 95 kD in molecular mass and F1, having an lipopolysaccharide-related structure (350 kDa), is derived from bacterial external membrane. Although the mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, Klebsiella pneumoniae F1 fraction appears to suppress monocyte apoptosis, hence inducing the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages. Furthermore, this agent also enhances humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, and increases natural killer cell cytotoxicity functions. This glycoprotein has been shown to reduce the incidence of infection. (NCI Thesaurus)
