  2. 1. Functional Studies of Some Immune Relevant Genes in a Crustacean

    Author : Haipeng Liu; Kenneth Söderhäll; Irene Söderhäll; Lage Cerenius; Ingrid Faye; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; anti-LPS factor; crayfish; hemocyte; innate immunity; melanization; phenoloxidase; RNA interference; WSSV; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, mounts a strong innate immune response against microbes such as viruses and bacteria. In this thesis, a novel RNA interference (RNAi) method mediated with histone H2A was developed and applied in crayfish hematopoietic tissue cell cultures for gene functional studies. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; melanization; prophenoloxidase; caspase; hematopoiesis; thymosin; astakine; circadian rhythm; reactive oxygen species; tyrosinase; prokineticin;

    Abstract : Blood cells or hemocytes play important roles in immunity. They are a major source of many immune-related molecules such as antibodies in adaptive immunity of vertebrates and prophenoloxidase (proPO) in invertebrates. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulatory proteins and the regulation of immune response in Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Erik Roos; Åsa Rasmuson-Lestander; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Insect antibacterial peptides are regulated at the transcriptional level. The otherwise silent antibacterial Cecropin genes are strongly induced upon bacterial challenge. READ MORE
