Various chitosan–sugar hybrids were synthesized. The influence of the hybrids on the active oxygen generation of canine polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) cells was investigated by measurement of the chemiluminescence (CL) response. The CL responses depended on the degree of substitution (DS) and water solubility of the hybrids. Water-insoluble hybrids stimulated the PMN cells directly by phagocytosis and the water-soluble ones would sensitize the PMN cells by a priming effect.
