Antimicrobial peptides from the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon – a review
Black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is one of the major shrimp species being cultured in Asian countries. Disease outbreaks have resulted in a decline of P. monodon cultivation and severe losses in the shrimp production. To combat harmful microorganisms, shrimp produce diverse classes of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as part of their immune defense. In P. monodon, several cDNA sequences of AMPs ...
متن کاملDopamine depresses immunity in the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon.
The total haemocyte count (THC), differential haemocyte count (DHC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory bursts (release of superoxide anion), superoxide dismutase activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Photobacterium damsela were measured when tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (13.5+/-1.5 g) were individually injected with saline or dopamine at 10(-8), 10(-7), or 10(...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and tissue distribution of the Toll receptor in the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon.
The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is economically important in many parts of the world, including Thailand. Shrimp immunity is similar to that of other invertebrate organisms; it consists of an innate immunity system. Toll or Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in recognizing the cleaved form of the cytokine Spätzle, which is processed by a series of proteolytic casca...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of prophenoloxidase in the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon.
A cDNA encoding shrimp, Penaeus monodon, prophenoloxidase (proPO) was obtained by screening a hemocyte library by plaque hybridization using a proPO cDNA fragment from freshwater crayfish, Pacifastaceus leniusculus, as a probe. The 3,002 bp cDNA contains an open reading frame of 2,121 bp and a 881 bp 3'-untranslated region. The molecular mass of the deduced amino acid sequence (688 amino acids)...
متن کاملFine structure of a septate gregarine trophozoite in the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon.
Gregarines are parasitic protozoa that occasionally parasitize the gut lumen of penaeid shrimp and other crustaceans. Here we describe the morphology of gregarine trophozoites found in the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon using light microscopy (LM) and scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. Using LM with fresh preparations and with paraffin sectioning followed by hematoxy...
