Insect blood cells (hemocytes) play an essential role in defense against parasites and other pathogenic organisms that infect insects. A key class of hemocytes involved in insect cellular immunity is plasmatocytes. Here we describe the isolation and

The effects of culturing hemocytes from Pseudoplusia includens on the basement membrane preparation, Matrigel, were examined. Hemocytes in mixed populations did not spread on tissue culture plates coated with Matrigel, whereas cells readily spread on

We tested the hypothesis that an insect immune response, encapsulation, involves an RGD-dependent cell adhesion mechanism by examining the effects of the tetrapeptide RGDS on hemocyte spreading and encapsulation. Soluble RGDS at concentrations of 0.5

Paramecium tetraurelia is a useful model system for the study of signal transduction mechanisms that couple changes in membrane potential to changes in ciliary motility, and cAMP and cGMP have been implicated as second messengers in this system. Chan

Hemocytes collected from larvae of Pseudoplusia includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were separated by centrifugation on Percoll cushions. The procedure resulted in 95% purity of plasmatocytes and greater than 99% purity of granular and spherule cells.

Calmodulin (lysine 115) N-methyltransferase was purified from the cytosolic fraction of Paramecium tetraurelia by sequential dialysis, cellulose phosphate chromatography, Reactive Red 120 agarose chromatography, and calmodulin-Sepharose affinity chro

SUMMARY Cryo-fixed yeast Paramecia and sea urchin embryos were investigated with an in-lens type field-emission SEM using a cold stage. The goal was to further develop and investigate the processing of frozen samples for the low-temperature scanning

We collected a Dirhinus texanus (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) in Salt Creek Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, San Juan County, Utah. This is the first record for D. texanus in Utah.
