ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for detecting a beta-glucan having immunomodulatory activity in a human cell, which uses a test cell line that stably expresses human dectin-1 molecule on the cell surface and does not express other glucan receptors and a specific amount of a marker beta-glucan that specifically binds to human dectin-1 molecule for detection.
