Rationale: To prevent or combat infection, increasing the effectiveness of the immune response is highly desirable, especially in case of compromised immune system function. However, immunostimulatory therapies are scarce, expensive, and often have unwanted side-effects. b-glucans have been shown to exert immunostimulatory effects in vitro and in vivo in experimental animal models. Oral b-glucan is inexpensive and well-tolerated, and therefore may represent a promising immunostimulatory compound for human use. Methods: We performed a randomized open-label intervention pilot-study in 15 healthy male volunteers. Subjects were randomized to either the b-glucan (n = 10) or the control group (n = 5). Subjects in the b-glucan group ingested b-glu...
