Enhanced immune defences in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) post-exposure to a vibrio vaccine.
This study was conducted to determine if exposure of shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, to a commercial anti-vibrio vaccine caused changes in antibacterial and cellular (phagocytosis) defences. Shrimp… Expand

THE ROLE OF PROPHENOLOXIDASE ACTIVATION IN NON-SELF RECOGNITION AND PHAGOCYTOSIS BY INSECT BLOOD CELLS
Abstract Experiments indicate that the prophenoloxidase activating system, which is responsible for melanin production, is also involved in immunorecognition in insects. Using haemocyte monolayer… Expand
