Developmental changes in the structure and function of lobster hemocyanin
… amongst the decapod crustaceans, contain hemocyanin as the oxygen binding protein. Previous investigations have revealed a great deal about the structural and functional properties of this respiratory pigment, but a number of important questions remain unanswered. No strong correlation has …

A Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy Study of the Cryoprotective Mechanism of Glucose on Hemocyanin
… was used to measure the hydrodynamic radius of hemocyanin (Hc), an oxygen-carrying protein found in arthropods, in glucose solutions up to 20wt%. FCS found that the hydrodynamic radius was invariant with increasing glucose concentration. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) results verified the …

A MODEL SYSTEM FOR THE CONCENTRATION OF REOVIRUS FROM AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS
… enteroviruses was also achieved by means of a hemocyanin-enriched fraction derived from Limulus polyphemus hemolymph.</p>

Antibody-Based Detection of 3-Methylglutaconic Acid
… of rabbits with a 3MGA-conjugated keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) immunogen, several enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) formats were investigated to find the most sensitive assay. From this study, a competitive ELISA was chosen and optimized. The assay was then tested for reproducibility, …

Observations on the Pathogenesis of Canine Encephalitozoonosis
… antigens, sheep erythrocytes, and keyhole-limpet hemocyanin were slightly slower than controls or not significantly different. Lymphocytes from adult dogs infected with E. cuniculi produced lymphokines when cultured with E. cuniculi spores. Lymphocytes from both noninfected and infected adult dogs …

The impact of episodic hypoxia on blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus): from molecules to populations)
… biomarkers (structure and concentration of the hemocyanin respiratory protein) would indicate blue crabs’ (Callinectes sapidus) degree of physiological acclimation to low DO and influence their behavioral responses to and survival of hypoxia. Only hemocyanin (Hcy) structure correlated with …

The role of the thymus in the enhancement of humoral immunity by estrogen
… 0.25 mg fluorescein conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin was found to distinguish between the anti-fluorescein responses of ovariectomized adult Lewis rats with and without estrogen replacement. This dose of immunogen was then administered to adult ovariectomized rats given physiological …

Design and development of an RNA vaccine against tumor-mediated angiogenesis and metastasis targeting a KLH-Adrenomedullin fusion protein
… composed by a small piece of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), as a hapten, and mouse AM. The in vitro-synthesized mRNA was encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and injected in C57BL/6J mice. Empty LNPs were used as a negative control. After five immunizations, B16- F10 melanoma cells …

Effects of dietary fermentable material on innate and adaptive immune measures in male and female rats under resting and immunized conditions
… with a T cell-dependent antigen, Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH). Under resting conditions, male rats had more FoxP3+ Treg cells in the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and spleen than did females. Levels of the regulatory cytokine TGF-β1 also increased in the MLN in a DFM-dependent manner. In …

Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
… pasture system had higher anti-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and total antibody responses on all diets. Overall, effects of omega-3 supplements on bovine immunity were influenced by feed management system with heightened impact on antibody production observed with a pasture system. A …

Factors that Affect the Immunogenicity of Lipid-PLGA Nanoparticle-Based Nanovaccines against Nicotine Addiction
… than the nanovaccines using keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or KLH subunit as carrier proteins. Finally, the co-delivery of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and Resiquimod (R848) achieved a considerably higher antibody titer and brain nicotine reduction than only using MPLA or R848 alone as …

HEPATITIS A VIRUS: GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS, PURIFICATION, AND CAPSID GENE ORDER (PEPTIDES, IMMUNOREACTIVITIES, POLYPEPTIDES).
… polypeptides were coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin and used to immunize rabbits. EITB reactivities of HAV specific anti-peptide sera have allowed the identification of the gene order for the larger HAV P1 gene products and the determination of the following molecular weights: HAV VP2 or …

Sterility and immunogenicity of gamma-irradiated respiratory viruses
… adjuvant the poorly immunogenic keyhole limpet hemocyanin. However, γ-Flu and other commonly used adjuvants were unable to enhance neutralising antibody responses to NDV. Overall, these data suggest that γ-irradiation may not be a suitable inactivation method for NDV vaccine development. NDV is …

Auxiliary proton-influenced metal-mediated reactions: dioxygen activation, anion coordination, and catalysis
… methoxylated derivative (0.29 V), in addition to hemocyanin model complexes [Cu(tripic)(NCMe)]+ (0.34 V) and its tethered bimetallic derivative, [Cu2(bistripic)(NCMe)2]2+ (0.40 V) (all potentials vs RHE at pH = 2). [Cu(tpa)](ClO4)2 (tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) was found to have the highest …

New Carbohydrate-Based Anti-Cancer And Anti-Bacterial Vaccines
… immunological results of Globo H-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and Globo H-MPLA conjugates indicated that the Globo H-MPLA conjugate had better immunogenicity than that of Globo H-KLH, including the capability of stimulating a T cell-mediated immunity. Therefore, Globo H-MPLA had the potential …

Accounting for Strong Electronic Correlation in Metalloproteins
Metalloproteins play a crucial role in many key biological processes, from oxygen transport to photosynthesis. In the case of photosynthesis, the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) --- a CaMn\textsubscript{4}O\textsubscript{5} cluster --- catalyses water-to-oxygen-gas conversion. From a computational …
