The edible mushroom Agaricus brasiliensis contains a large amount β-glucan, which is mainly composed of a β-1,6-glucan structure. In this study, we investigated the effect of A. brasiliensis strain KA21 on the anti-β-glucan antibody titer in healthy humans and the role of antibodies as an immunomodulator. Twenty-two healthy volunteers were fed the dried fruiting body of A. brasiliensis (900 or 1500 mg/day) for 12 weeks. The anti-β-glucan antibody titer in the serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunoglobulin G
