A Family of C-Type Lectins in Manduca sexta

2001
Insects have a rapid and effective immune system against microbial infections (Gillespie et al., 1997) that shares common characteristics with the innate immune system of vertebrates. It also consists of humoral and cellular responses. In the cellular responses such as phagocytosis, nodule formation and encapsulation, hemocytes play important roles. In

Morphological and histochemical evidence of mitoribosomes in Manduca sexta

Tissue and Cell, 1975
The mitochondria found in the neurons of the frontal ganglion of Manduca sexta contained numerous mitoribosomes. The mitochondria of the glial and perineural cells did not contain mitoribosomes. The mitoribosomes were digested in RNase whereas phospholipase C digested the cellular membranes but had no effect on the mitoribosomes.

Intracellular calcium in prothoracic glands of Manduca sexta

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1998
Cytosolic free calcium was measured in individual prothoracic gland cells of Manduca larvae with Fura-2. During the last larval instar there was no correlation between intracellular calcium concentration and ecdysteroid secretion by the glands. The addition of prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) from brains of Manduca larvae to prothoracic glands in ...

Proteolytic Activation of Prophenoloxidase in an Insect Manduca Sexta

2001
Phenol oxidase (PO) (EC1.14.18.1) is important in cuticular sclerotization and in defense against pathogens and parasites (Soderhall et al., 1996; Sugumaran, 1996; Ashida and Brey, 1998). PO catalyzes hydroxylation of monophenols to o-diphenols and oxidation of o-diphenols to quinones.
