  • Patent number: 7998482
    Abstract: The disclosure provides fusion proteins comprising a carbohydrate recognition domain of an innate immunity receptor and a heterologous polypeptide. The fusion proteins of the disclosure may be used, for example, to fingerprint polysaccharide compositions and to purify polysaccharide compositions. Polysaccharide compositions include those isolated from Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi). The methods and reagents of the disclosure may also be used to identify innate immunity receptors and cell types that bind to polysaccharide compositions (including polysaccharide compositions associated with pathogens), whereupon modulators of the identified receptors can then be obtained. The fusion proteins also may be used to inhibit the interaction between a polysaccharide composition and an innate immunity receptor on a cell surface.
