Comparison of antiviral efficiency of immune responses in shrimp

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
Wei Wang, Xiaobo Zhang

Abstract

The antiviral effectiveness of three major immune responses including phagocytosis, apoptosis and proPO system in the shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus was characterized. It was found that the suppression of apoptosis and phagocytosis in vivo by their corresponding inhibitors resulted in the increase of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) copies and shrimp mortality, whereas the inhibition of phenol oxidase generated the least influence on WSSV infection and shrimp mortality. These results suggest that apoptosis and phagocytosis were the essential immune responses to protect shrimp from virus infection, while the phenol-oxidase-dependent proPO system plays a comparatively minor role in antiviral defense of shrimp.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
