Finally, extended periods of reduced
hemocyanin levels may cause additional respiratory stress and increased susceptibility to infection because
hemocyanin plays a major role in immune function and wound repair (Adachi et al., 2005; Coates et al., 2011).
IgG response after immunization with keyhole limpet
hemocyanin (KLH).
In ablated group reproductive-stage samples, a fragment of
hemocyanin subunit 2 was identified, with an average mass of 70.9 kDa.
No significances were detected in the concentration of
hemocyanin, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose or total protein in hemolymph.
We administered either PBS, unpulsed, or ID-pulsed DC therapy as described previously, then immunized the mice with keyhole limpet
hemocyanin (KLH), a protein commonly used to examine and elicit immune responses.
Abbreviations HaH:
Hemocyanin of Helix aspersa maxima DSC: Differential scanning calorimetry Tris-HCl: Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride HEPES: 4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid.
As previously mentioned, nitrite transforms
hemocyanin into meta-hemocyanin, decreasing the delivery of oxygen to the tissues.
Glycans derived from
hemocyanins.
Hemocyanin is the Cu(I)-containing oxygen transporter glycoprotein of most arthropod and mollusc species.
P Jiang et al., "Identification and agglutination properties of
hemocyanin from the mud crab (Scylla serrata)" Fish And Shellfish Immunology, vol.
[80] investigated the preparation of a support matrix composed by gold nanoparticles, QCs and CB for immobilization of
hemocyanin enzyme.
took such an approach by molecularly cloning, characterizing, and quantifying the gene expression of
hemocyanin subunit 1 (MnHc-1) in oriental river prawn.
