Hemocytes of bivalve mollusks as cellular models in toxicological studies of metals and metal-based nanomaterials.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
Understanding the impacts of environmental pollutants on immune systems is indispensable in ecological and health risk assessments due to the significance of normal immunological functions in all living organisms.

Isolation and transcriptome analysis of three subpopulations of shrimp hemocytes reveals the underlying mechanism of their immune functions.

Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 2020
Hemocytes in shrimp play important roles in innate immune responses against pathogens. Although three types of hemocytes including hyalinocytes, semi-granulocytes and granulocytes were identified based on their morphological characters in penaeid shrimp,

Green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) hemocytes: A flow cytometric study of sampling effects, sub-populations and immune-related functions.

Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2020
Green-lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) are a commercially and culturally important bivalve species in New Zealand (NZ). As the highest value export aquaculture product in NZ, understanding and safeguarding the health of this species is imperative.

Hemocyte lysate enhancement of fungal spore encapsulation by crayfish hemocytes

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1984
Crayfish hemocytes exhibited a stronger encapsulation reaction to fungal blastospores of Beauveria bassiana coated with hemocyte lysate, than to blastospores treated with plasma or buffer, indicating an opsonic function of hemocyte lysate proteins.

Effects of ammonia stress on the hemocytes of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei.

Chemosphere, 2019
Ammonia is an important environmental stress factor in aquaculture. Long-term ammonia stress could affect the normal growth, and also increase the risk for the occurrence of various diseases.

Eicosanoids mediate insect hemocyte migration

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2008
Hemocyte migration toward infection and wound sites is an essential component of insect defense reactions, although the biochemical signal mechanisms responsible for mediating migration in insect cells are not well understood. Here we report on the outcomes of experiments designed to test the hypotheses that (1) insect hemocytes are able to detect and ...

Scorpion Hemocyte- Plasmocyte

ENTOMON, 2020
The plasmocytes in five different scorpions- Mesobuthus tumulus tamulus, M. tumulus concanesis, Orthochirus bicolor, Heterometrus xanthopus, H. phipsoni were studied in the present investigation. The hemocytes are polymorphic and their population is about 70 – 80%. The length varied from 6- 12 μm and the width is 6- 12 μm in M.

Morphological and functional characterization of hemocytes in cultivated mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and effect of hypoxia on hemocyte parameters

Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2019
The circulating hemocytes of cultivated marine mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were investigated using light microscopy and flow cytometry. In mussels two cell types, granulocytes and agranulocytes, were identified based on the existence of two ...

Hemocytes and hemocytic responses in the mole crab Emerita emeritus (Linnaeus 1767)

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2017
The mole crab, Emerita emeritus, collected from the sandy shores of a Chennai beach, was investigated for cellular immune responses based on the morphology and defensive reactions of the circulating haemocytes. Three haemocyte morphotypes were identified using light and electron microscopy, and separated in a discontinuous percoll gradient.

Apoptosis of hemocytes is associated with the infection process of white spot syndrome virus in Litopenaeus vannamei.

Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2019
Previous studies have demonstrated that white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) could induce hemocytes apoptosis in shrimps, however the inter-relationship between apoptotic process and the WSSV infection status is still currently underexplored.
