Heptabladed β‐propeller lectins PLL2 and PHL from Photorhabdus spp. recognize O‐methylated sugars and influence the host immune system

Heptabladed β‐propeller lectins PLL2 and PHL from Photorhabdus spp. recognize O‐methylated sugars and influence the host immune system
by on with No Comments

O‐methylation is an unusual sugar modification with a function that is not fully understood. Given its occurrence and recognition by lectins involved in the immune response, methylated sugars were proposed to represent a conserved pathogen‐associated molecular pattern. We describe the … Read More

Insects 2020, 11(6), 353; https://doi.org/10.3390/insects11060353 ABSTRACT: Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are efficient insect parasites, that are known for their mutualistic relationship with entomopathogenic bacteria and their use in biocontrol. EPNs produce bioactive molecules referred to as excreted/secreted products (ESPs), which have … Read More

Changes in physiological and immune parameters of bees during the year – Differences between short-lived and long-lived generations of bees are not only in what activities they do

Changes in physiological and immune parameters of bees during the year – Differences between short-lived and long-lived generations of bees are not only in what activities they do

For beekeepers, it is important to know what proportion of long-lived bees are in the bee population already at the beginning of autumn, because this fact decides whether or not the bee population will survive the winter. Unfortunately, these two … Read More
