The immune system has an impact on the metabolic performance in vertebrates, thus the
metabolic effects of immune cells are receiving intense attention today in the biomedical …

Hemocyanin is the main respiratory protein of arthropods and is formed by hexameric and/or
oligomeric subunits. Due to changes in the living environment and gene rearrangement …

Mollusk hemocyanins, among the largest known proteins, are used as immunostimulants in
biomedical and clinical applications. The hemocyanin of the Chilean gastropod …

Hemocyanins, which boost the immune system of mammals, have been used as carrier‐
adjuvants to promote Ab production against haptens and peptides, as immunostimulants …

The seafood industry plays a huge role in the blue economy, exploiting the advantage of the
enriched protein content of marine organisms such as shrimps and molluscs, which are …

Hemocyanins (Hc), the main protein components of hemolymph in invertebrates, are not
only involved in oxygen transport but also linked to non-specific immune responses. In this …

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is a key enzyme involved in nitrogen metabolism and glutamine
synthesis. A 1455bp cDNA clone encoding GS was isolated from Litopenaeus vannamei …

Hemocyanins are giant biological macromolecules acting as oxygen-transporting
glycoproteins. Most of them are respiratory proteins of arthropods and mollusks, but besides …

Chemo-and immunotherapeutic approaches have been used to prevent recurrence of
transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), the most common type of superficial bladder cancer …

Background Haemocyanin is the respiratory protein of most of the Mollusca. In cephalopods
and gastropods at least two distinct isoforms are differentially expressed. However, their …
