Immunological resilience of a freshwater Indian mollusc during aestivation and starvation

Aquaculture Reports, 2016
Freshwater snail, Pila globosa is an edible mollusc which bears commercial and ethnomedicinal significance. During environmental aridity, P. globosa aestivates deep into the soil for four to five months.

Rickettsia parkeri hijacks tick hemocytes to manipulate cellular and humoral transcriptional responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionBlood-feeding arthropods rely on robust cellular and humoral immunity to control pathogen invasion and replication. Tick hemocytes produce factors that can facilitate or suppress microbial infection and pathogenesis. Despite the importance of

Distinct Roles of Hemocytes at Different Stages of Infection by Dengue and Zika Viruses in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors for arboviruses of medical importance such as dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses. Different innate immune pathways contribute to the control of arboviruses in the mosquito vector including RNA interference, Toll ...

Transglutaminase 3 negatively regulates immune responses on the heart of the mosquito, Anopheles gambiae

Scientific Reports, 2022
The immune and circulatory systems of insects are functionally integrated. Following infection, immune cells called hemocytes aggregate around the ostia (valves) of the heart.

Differential lectin labelling of circulating hemocytes from Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria tenagophila resistant or susceptible to Schistosoma mansoni infection

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
Lectins/carbohydrate binding can be involved in the Schistosoma mansoni recognition and activation of the Biomphalaria hemocytes. Therefore, expression of lectin ligands on Biomphalaria hemocytes would be associated with snail resistance against S ...

DataSheet_1_Hallmarks of crustacean immune hemocytes at single-cell resolution.docx

, 2023
In invertebrates, hemocytes are the key factors in innate immunity. However, the types of invertebrate immune hemocytes are unclassified due to the limitation of morphological classification.

Incorporation of Novel Synthetic Glycolipids in Liposomal Nanoparticles Affects Opsonization and In Vivo Clearance

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We prepared five glycosylated liposomal nanoparticles (G‐LNPs) to investigate the role of glycosylation and protein corona in modulating the in vivo behavior of G‐LNPs. We show that IgG and complement C3 adsorption enhanced liposomal nanoparticle clearance, with IgG promoting subsequent C3 binding.

Morphological and functional characterization of the oyster Crassostrea gasar circulating hemocytes: Cell types and phagocytosis activity

Fish and Shellfish Immunology Reports, 2023
Hemocytes are the circulating cells of the hemolymph of oysters and are responsible for numerous physiological functions, including immune defense. The oyster Crassostrea gasar is a native species inhabiting mangrove habitat and is of great commercial ...
