Identification of an induced lectin involved in capsule formation in Squilla mantis (Crastacea, Stomatopoda)

Identification of an induced lectin involved in capsule formation in Squilla mantis (Crastacea, Stomatopoda)

The process of capsule formation in Squilla mantis involves the direct action of granulocytes in the recognition of foreign bodies. Evidence was presented that a relevant role in this recognition is played by a lectin (lect-I), which is synthesized and secreted by granulocytes after the activation o...

Zusammenfassung:The process of capsule formation in Squilla mantis involves the direct action of granulocytes in the recognition of foreign bodies. Evidence was presented that a relevant role in this recognition is played by a lectin (lect-I), which is synthesized and secreted by granulocytes after the activation of the immunologic reaction.
