Antitumor activity and carrier properties of novel hemocyanins coupled to a mimotope of GD2 ganglioside [PDF]
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2018 Conjugation to carrier proteins is a way to improve the immunogenicity of peptides. Such is the case for peptides mimicking carbohydrate tumor-associated antigens in cancer vaccine development. The most used protein for this purpose is the keyhole limpet

Diverse Immune Functions of Hemocyanins
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2014 Substantial evidence gathered recently has revealed the multiple functionalities of hemocyanin. Contrary to previous claims that this ancient protein is involved solely in oxygen transport within the hemolymph of invertebrates, hemocyanin and hemocyanin ...

Preliminary Analysis of Hemocyanins in Hemolymph Plasma of Baikal Endemic Amphipods [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2016 Two-dimensional electrophoresis of plasma hemolymph proteins of several endemic Baikal amphipod species showed that, as expected, hemocyanin is the main major protein in plasma of these species.

Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

The occurrence of hemocyanin in Hexapoda [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2009 Hemocyanins are copper‐containing, respiratory proteins that have been thoroughly studied in various arthropod subphyla. Specific O2‐transport proteins have long been considered unnecessary in Hexapoda (including Insecta), which acquire O2 via an elaborate tracheal system.
