Limulin: a C-reactive protein from Limulus polyphemus.
A protein which binds specifically to the phosphorylcholine residues of a phosphorylcholine affinity column in the presence of CaZ+ has been isolated from the hemolymph of the horseshoe crab Limuluspolyphemus. Immunological cross-reactivity of the phosphorylcholine-binding protein with limulin, a sialic acid-specific lectin also found in the hemolymph prepared by a different method, was shown b...
متن کاملBlood Collection from the American Horseshoe Crab, Limulus Polyphemus
The horseshoe crab has the best-characterized immune system of any long-lived invertebrate. The study of immunity in horseshoe crabs has been facilitated by the ease in collecting large volumes of blood and from the simplicity of the blood. Horseshoe crabs show only a single cell type in the general circulation, the granular amebocyte. The plasma has the salt content of sea water and only three...

متن کاملPurification of Limulus polyphemus proclotting enzyme.
Horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus and Tachypleus tridentatus) possess a proteolytic blood coagulation system within their amebocytes that, after release and endotoxin activation, generates a polymerized insoluble coagulin clot. Clotting enzyme from horseshoe crab amebocyte lysate is the protease that activates the clottable protein (coagulogen) which then forms the coagulin clot. Comparison o...
متن کاملEarly neurogenesis in the horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus and its implication for arthropod relationships.
The relationships among the four arthropod groups (insects, crustaceans, myriapods, chelicerates) have been a point of controversy for many years. According to the traditional view, the myriapods are most closely related to the insects (common taxon “Tracheata” or Antennata), the crustaceans are the closest relatives of the Antennata (common taxon Mandibulata), and the chelicerates are the sist...
