ABOUT
Beta-1,3-glucan from Alcaligenes faecalis; Dectin-1 ligand
Curdlan is a high molecular weight linear polymer consisting of β-(1 -> 3)-linked glucose residues. Curdlan is produced as a water-insoluble polysaccharide by the soil bacterium, Alcaligenes faecalis.
Curdlan is recognized by the membrane bound Dectin-1 receptor leading to the CARD9-dependent activation of NF-κB and MAP kinases [1]. Furthermore, Dectin-1 signaling activates the NFAT transcription factor. Recent data suggest that Curdlan is also recognized by the cytosolic NLRP3 inflammasome complex which cooperates with Dectin-1 resulting in a robust activation of IL-1β–mediated inflammatory response [2].

Dectin-1 activation using cellular assays
The Dectin-1 activity has been tested using cellular assays., The presence of bacterial contamination (e.g. lipoproteins and endotoxins) has been assessed using HEK-Blue™ TLR2 and HEK-Blue™ TLR4 cells.
