Abstract
The role of chemically characterized polysaccharides will be discussed in view of their immunostimulating activities. A possible correlation of fungal ss-1.3/1.6-glucans differing in the branching pattern is de monstrated with in vivo tumor models. In a second part the possible ro le of sulfated polysaccharide structures as anticoagulating compounds is again correlated with polysaccharide structures and sulfate substit ution pattern of these biopolymer derivatives.
