Substantial evidence gathered recently has revealed the multiple functionalities of
hemocyanin. Contrary to previous claims that this ancient protein is involved solely in …

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

Marine molluscs from the family Muricidae hold great potential for development as a source
of therapeutically useful compounds. Traditionally known for the production of the ancient …

Hemocyanins, the huge oxygen-transporting glycoproteins of some mollusks, are used as
immunomodulatory proteins with proven anti-cancer properties. The biodiversity of …

Hemocyanins induce a potent Th1-dominant immune response with beneficial clinical
outcomes when used as a carrier/adjuvant in vaccines and nonspecific immunostimulant in …

Mollusk hemocyanins have been used for decades in immunological and clinical
applications as natural, nontoxic, nonpathogenic, and nonspecific immunostimulants for the …

Hemocyanin is an important multifunctional non-specific immune molecule. In this study, we
purified lectin binding and non-lectin binding hemocyanin from Litopenaeus vannamei using …

In this study, we identified a variable region in the C-terminus of hemocyanin from the shrimp
Litopenaeus vannamei (2288–2503bp, HcSC) by sequence alignments. A total of 13 SNPs …

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

Hemocyanin, an oxygen-transport protein, is widely distributed in the hemolymph of marine
arthropods and mollusks, playing an important role in their physiological processes …
