  1. 6. Characterisation of Some Immune Genes in the Black Tiger Shrimp, Penaeus monodon

    Författare :Kallaya Sritunyalucksana; C. J. Secombes; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; fysiologisk mykologi; Physiological Mycology;

    Sammanfattning : The molecular mechanisms of the immune system in shrimp, Penaeus monodon, are completely unknown, despite its economic importance as an aquaculture species, especially in Asia and Latin America. The genes and their gene products involved in the prophenoloxidase activating system, which is considered to be a non-self recognition and defence system in many invertebrates, have been isolated and characterised in shrimp.

  3. 7. Insect immunity : Inducible antibacterial proteins from Hyalophora cecropia

    Författare :Dan Hultmark; Hans Boman; Sten Hammarström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : A powerful bactericidal activity can be induced in the hemolymph of many insects as a response to an injection of bacteria. The nature of the effector molecules of this immune response was investigated, using pupae of the Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Calcium transport in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas - in a changing environment

    Författare :Kirsikka Sillanpää; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate changes; Ussing chambers; Calcium uptake; Sodium potassium ATPase; Calcium ATPase; Sodium calcium exchanger; Calcium channel; Hemocytes; Mantle epithelium;

    Sammanfattning : Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is globally one of the most important farmed bivalve species. A prominent features of the C. gigas is the thick CaCO3 shell covering the body of the animal and protecting it from the environment. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Innate Immune Proteins in a Crustacean Pacifastacus leniusculus

    Författare :Chenglin Wu; Irene Söderhäll; petr Kopácek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 2-DE; hematopoiesis; marker protein; melaniztion inhibiting protein; proPO-system; pattern recognition protein; PGN; ficolin-like protein; Immunology; Immunologi; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Hemocytes (blood cells) are important in the immune defense against pathogens in invertebrates. In crusteacean, the hemocytes and plasma components mount a strong innate immune response against different pathogens including bacteria and virus. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Identification and characterisation of five innate immune genes in the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni

    Författare :Annika Lundström; Lage Cerenius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : When insects are infected with bacteria, they respond by producing a range of different antibacterial peptides and by activating protease cascades leading to coagulation and melanisation. Cellular defence mechanisms are also involved in killing of microorganisms through phagocytosis and encapsulation. LÄS MER
