Notes:
a type 2 thymus-independent polysaccharide antigen. Levan is a substantial component of bacterial plaque produced by certain streptococci and actinomyces, and lipopolysaccharides from Gram-negative bacteria. These bacterial products are B cell mitogens which may have an adjuvant or tolerizing effect on immune responses. (PubMed ID 346320 ) [HMDB]
