Journal ArticleDOI

Gene discovery and expression analysis of immune-relevant genes from Biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes

TL;DR: The immune effector cells (hemocytes) of the snail host Biomphalaria glabrata are known to play a key role in recognition and elimination of larval helminths such as the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni, and the potential involvement of these genes in snail-trematode immunobiological interactions is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomphalysin, a New β Pore-forming Toxin Involved in Biomphalaria glabrata Immune Defense against Schistosoma mansoni

TL;DR: These results provide the first functional description of a mollusk immune effector protein involved in killing S. mansoni and show that, in contrast to what has been reported for most other members of the family, lytic activity of Biomphalysin is not dependent on proteolytic processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

A family of variable immunoglobulin and lectin domain containing molecules in the snail Biomphalaria glabrata.

TL;DR: This study increased over two fold the number of bonafide FREP subfamilies and revealed important sequence diversity within FREP12 subfamily and the discovery of related molecules that feature one or two IgSF domains associated with different C-terminal lectin domains, named C-type lectin-related proteins (CREPs) and Galectin- related protein (GREP).
