This review surveys receptors that recognize fungal beta-glucans and the immune responses triggered in vertebrates and invertebrates. It highlights substantial differences between animal groups and places beta-glucan recognition in the context of antifungal host defense. The article is a mechanistic review, not a trial of supplementation, and it does not establish a health benefit for an Aureobasidium or other commercial product.
