The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

(1->3)-β-D-glucans (BGs), found in culinary-medicinal mushrooms, exhibit an immunostimulatory effect; hence, it is important to measure the content of BGs contained in mushrooms. BGs content in a mushroom extract was measured using a recombinant BG-binding protein, supBGRP, and compared with the existing BG assay using BGs antibody. The specificity of supBGRP enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was evaluated using a commercially available polysaccharide reagent. The supBGRP did not react to barley glucan, dextran, mannan, pustulan, and xylan, but reacted to sonifilan, and only slightly to curdlan. Among the BGs tested, supBGRP was most reactive to lentinan. The glucans were extracted using hot water and alkaline solution from the fruit body of the following edible mushrooms: Pleurotus ostreatus, Grifola frondosa, Lentinus edodes, Hypsizygus marmoreus, Flammulina velutipes, and Auricularia polytricha. All BGs extracted from edible mushrooms were detectable; in particular, the reactivity of supBGRP toward the alkaline-extracted fraction from Lentinus edodes was higher than that toward polyclonal antibody for BGs. The results suggest that supBGRP had a specific reaction to BG. The supBGRP seems to be superior to antibodies due to easy availability as a reagent and stability as a protein molecule for measurement of BGs.
