New-generation vaccines, formulated with subunits or nucleic acids, are less immunogenic
than classical vaccines formulated with live-attenuated or inactivated pathogens. This …

Hemocyanin transports oxygen in the hemolymph of many molluscs and arthropods and is
therefore a central physiological factor in these animals. Molluscan hemocyanin molecules …

These include radioactivity of 3H, 14C, and 35S or NMR activity of 1H, 13C, and 15N to
name those most frequently employed in chemical studies. The above examples may be …

For the first time the antimicrobial activities of hemocyanins from the molluscs Rapana
venosa (RvH) and Helix aspersa (HaH) have been tested. From the hemolymph of the …

Metabolic profiling based on 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was
applied with the aim to investigate the functional role of the metabolites in lyophilized mucus …

Hemocyanins are widely used as carriers, adjuvants, and nonspecific immunostimulants in
cancer because they promote Th1 immunity in mammals. Hemocyanins also interact with …

Hemocyanins are oxygen-transporting glycoproteins in the hemolymph of arthropods and
mollusks that attract scientific interest with their diverse biological activities and potential …

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 …

The carbohydrate structures of molluscan hemocyanins have recently received particular
interest due to their specific monosaccharide composition, as well as their …
