Zusammenfassung:	This disclosure describes, in one aspect, a composition that includes a β-glucan component and an antibody component that specifically binds to the β-glucan. In another aspect, this disclosure describes a method of increasing a subject's response to β-glucan immunotherapy. Generally, the method includes identifying the subject as a low binder of β-glucan and administering to the subject a composition that comprises a β-glucan moiety conjugated to the therapeutic antibody. In some cases, the therapeutic antibody can be an anti-tumor antibody.
