A Disulfide-Linked Collagenous Protein of Nematocyst Capsules

Science, 1966
The major protein component present in the capsule and thread of a sea anemone nematocyst consists of monomers of a collagen-like protein linked by disulfide bonds. Purified nematocyst capsules and threads are rich in hydroxyproline, and dissolved by disulfide reducing agents.

On the Functions and Mode of Action of the Nematocysts of Hydra.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1947
Summary.(1) The threshold for discharge in response to mechanical stimulation of the stenoteles and desmonemes of Hydra is lowered by food extracts, in the same way as has been shown by Pantin to occur in sea anemones.(2) The tentacles are attached during locomotion by discharge of the atrichous isorhizas.

The differentiation of nematocysts and associated structures in the cnidaria

Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 1966
The differentiation of nematocysts and associated structures in the tentacles of the sea anemone Metridium senile fimbriatum and in the tentacles of medusae of the hydroid Obelia longissima was studied by electron microscopy. Stages in the morphogenesis of nematocysts are: 1.

Leveraging Nematocysts Toward Human Care

2016
The stinging cells of cnidarians contain nematocysts, which are a sophisticated ultra-fast injection system that can penetrate the skin immediately. This chapter will review two nematocyst-based biotechnology applications. The first hinders nematocyst discharge and thereby prevents jellyfish envenomation.
