  1. 1. Immune defense reactions in freshwater crayfish : Cellular components

    Författare :Charlotta Ekblom; Irene Söderhäll; Kallaya Sritunyalucksana-Dangtip; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; crustaceans; hemocytes; immunity; crayfish; proteomics; transcriptomics; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The freshwater signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, is a well-established model for studying the immune system of invertebrates. Many important discoveries have been made in this species, among others related to the clotting reaction, hematopoiesis, the prophenoloxidase activating system, the functions of crustacean immune cells, and pathogen recognition.

  3. 2. The plasticity of aging and survival : a role for the thioredoxin system in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Författare :Juan Carlos Fierro-González; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Thioredoxin and related systems regulate many biological processes in diverse species. In mammals, in addition to protecting against oxidative damage, they also play key roles as regulators of transcription factors, signaling cascades and immune responses. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hematopoiesis, Kazal Inhibitors and Crustins in a Crustacean

    Författare :Young-A Kim; Kenneth Soderhall; Irene Soderhall; Shun-ichiro Kawabata; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biochemistry; innate immunity; cytokine; hematopoietic tissue; ATP synthase β subunit; Kazal; antibacterial peptides; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Hemocytes are important as storage and producers of proteins of the innate immune defence, as well as actors of the cellular immune response. Therefore the hematopoietic process is critical for survival of most invertebrates. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Interaction between crayfish and some microorganisms; Effect of temperature

    Författare :Gül Gizem Korkut; Chadanat Noonin; Kenneth Söderhäll; Javier Diéguez Uribeondo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Innate immunity, which constitutes the first line of defense in vertebrates, is the only immune system that invertebrates rely on to protect themselves from pathogens. The invertebrate immune system is composed of cellular and humoral components. Cellular immunity is phagocytosis, opsonization and encapsulation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. White Spot Syndrome Virus Interaction with a Freshwater Crayfish

    Författare :Pikul Jiravanichpaisal; Kenneth Söderhäll; Irene Söderhäll; Ellen Kauschke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; WSSV; crayfish; hematopoietic tissue; cytokine; innate immunity; hemocytes; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Viruses are very abundant in water and hence diseases caused by viruses are common in marine organisms. These diseases create great problems for the commercial farming of crustaceans and mussels. LÄS MER
