A Novel Immunomodulatory Hemocyanin from the Limpet Fissurella latimarginata Promotes Potent Anti-Tumor Activity in Melanoma

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hemocyanins, the huge oxygen-transporting glycoproteins of some mollusks, are used as immunomodulatory proteins with proven anti-cancer properties. The biodiversity of hemocyanins has promoted interest in identifying new anti-cancer candidates with ...

THE EQUILIBRIUM OF OXYGEN WITH THE HEMOCYANIN OF LIMULUS POLYPHEMUS DETERMINED BY A SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD

, 1930
A spectrophotometric method for measuring the equilibrium of hemocyanin and oxygen is described.The oxygen dissociation curves of purified hemocyanin of Limulus in the absence of salts and at various hydrogen ion activities are determined.It is shown ...

The Planorbid Snail Biomphalaria glabrata Expresses a Hemocyanin-Like Sequence in the Albumen Gland.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni, causative agent of human intestinal schistosomiasis in South America, relies importantly on the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata as intermediate host to achieve development of cercariae that infect humans.

Evolution of molluscan hemocyanin structures

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2013
Hemocyanin transports oxygen in the hemolymph of many molluscs and arthropods and is therefore a central physiological factor in these animals. Molluscan hemocyanin molecules are oligomers composed of many protein subunits that in turn encompass subsets of distinct functional units.

[Hemocyanins as immunostimulants].

Revista medica de Chile, 2012
Hemocyanins, the giant oxygen transporter glycoproteins of diverse mollusks, are xenogenic to the mammalian immune system and they display a remarkable immuno-genicity. Therefore they are ideal non-specific immunostimulants to treat some types of cancer. They are used as an alternative therapy for superficial urinary bladder cancer (SBC), that has been
