It is becoming increasingly clear that neurotransmitters impose direct influence on regulation of the immune process. Recently, a simple but sophisticated neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) system was identified in oyster, which modulated neural immune response via a "nervous-hemocyte"-mediated neuroendocrine immunomodulatory axis (NIA)-like pathway. In the present study, the de novo synthesis of neur...

In this study the enrichment dietary effect with different crude protein levels (CP) and feed additives on growth, survival, conversion ratio (FCR), consumption (FC) total hemocyte count (THC) in juvenile white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. The covered two bioassays: first one, juveniles daily fed for 45 days four experimental diets containing: (1) Control, commercial (35% CP); (2...

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1086. 48 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8774-4. Blood cells or hemocytes play important roles in immunity. They are a major source of many immune-related mole...

Drosophila hematopoiesis occurs in a specialized organ called the lymph gland. In this systematic analysis of lymph gland structure and gene expression, we define the developmental steps in the maturation of blood cells (hemocytes) from their precursors. In particular, distinct zones of hemocyte maturation, signaling and proliferation in the lymph gland during hematopoietic progression are desc...

Total Hemocyte Count (T.H.C.) of 5 instar larvae of Muga Silkworm Antheraea assama Ww reared at four different sericulture farms situated at different altitudes, viz, Khanapara State Sericulture Farm, Assam, altitude 55.5m above sea level (ASL); Nongpoh (Central Silk Board farm), Meghalaya, altitude 464m ASL; Tura (Central Silk Board farm), West Garo Hills, Meghalaya, 657m ASL; and Kalimpong (C...

Low insecticide exposure has been shown to cause profound effects on non-target organisms, including crabs. Therefore, the changes in hematological parameters, serum biochemistry and antioxidant enzymes Gercacinid crab, Cardiosoma armatum were assessed during 28-day four concentrations of organophosphate chlorpyrifos (0.003, 0.006, 0.03 0.06 mg/l). The results showed a significant (P= 0.0) decr...

A serologic cross-reacting homolog to rodent Thy-1 glycoproteins has been isolated from hemocyte cell surfaces of the advanced invertebrate group of tunicates. The Thy-1.1 cross-reacting antigenic activity was followed during purification by inhibiting the binding of MRC OX7 monoclonal antibody to pure rat brain Thy-1 in a soluble phase radioimmunoassay. After solubilization in deoxycholate, tu...

Drosophila hemocytes compose the cellular arm of the fly's innate immune system. Plasmatocytes, putative homologues to mammalian macrophages, represent ∼95% of the migratory hemocyte population in circulation and are responsible for the phagocytosis of bacteria and apoptotic tissues that arise during metamorphosis. It is not known as to how hemocytes become activated from a sessile state in res...
