Journal ArticleDOI

Original involvement of antimicrobial peptides in mussel innate immunity.

TL;DR: In Mytilus galloprovincialis, gene structure reveals synthesis as precursors in circulating hemocytes, and involvement in anti‐infectious responses is unique, and apparently more related to those of mammalian phagocytes than to Those of insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myticin, a novel cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide isolated from haemocytes and plasma of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis.

TL;DR: The isolation of two isoforms of a novel cysteine-rich peptide from haemocytes and plasma of the mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, suggests that myticins are synthesized as preproproteins and then processed by various proteolytic events before storage of the active peptide in the haemocyte.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole genome analysis of a schistosomiasis-transmitting freshwater snail.

Coen M. Adema, +120 more
TL;DR: Parts of phero-perception, stress responses, immune function and regulation of gene expression that support the persistence of B. glabrata are described and several potential targets for developing novel control measures aimed at reducing snail-mediated transmission of schistosomiasis are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mussel defensins are synthesised and processed in granulocytes then released into the plasma after bacterial challenge

TL;DR: Immunocytochemistry at both the optical and ultrastructural levels showed that defensins are predominantly located in vesicles of a granulocyte subclass of hemocytes containing small granules, and that MGD immune reactivity existed in granular structures of enterocytes.
