Immunobiology of compound ascidians, with particular reference to Botryllus schlosseri: state of art [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2008
The phylogenetic position of invertebrate chordates closely related to vertebrates explains the increasing interest towards tunicate immunobiology. Most of the tunicates are ascidians which, like all other invertebrates, rely only on innate immunity for ...

Contributions from both the brain and the vascular network guide behavior in the colonial tunicate Botryllus schlosseri

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022
We studied the function, development and aging of the adult nervous system in the colonial tunicate Botryllus schlosseri. Adults, termed zooids, are filter-feeding individuals.

Phagocytosis in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1994
Phagocytosis by Botryllus schlosseri hemocytes is influenced by temperature, pH, concentration, and physicochemical properties of the test particles and requires Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions to occur. Phagocytes recognize glucosyl or mannosyl residues on the surface of yeast cells, and a respiratory burst is associated with phagocytosis, as indicated by increased

Assessing the Ecotoxicity of Copper and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Comparison of Effects on Paracentrotus lividus and Botryllus schlosseri, as Alternative Bioassay Methods

Water, 2021
Adult sea urchins and their embryos are ideal targets to investigate the medium- and long-term effects of various toxic agents, such as organic and inorganic pollutants, to forecast and mitigate their environmental effects.

Histocompatibility in Botryllus schlosseri and the origins of adaptive immunity

Immunogenetics
The basal chordate, Botryllus schlosseri, undergoes a natural transplantation reaction that is controlled by a single, highly polymorphic locus called the fuhc.
