X. J. Xu, Sang, B. H., Chen, W. B., Yan, Q. P., Xiong, Z. Y., Su, J. B., and Zou, W. Z., Intracellular survival of virulence and low-virulence strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Epinephelus awoara macrophages and peripheral leukocytes, vol. 14, pp. 706-718, 2015.

In this study, we examined the virulence factors and pathogenesis of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Epinephelus awoara. The chemotactic motility of V. parahaemolyticus for phagocytosis and intracellular survival in fish macrophages was determined using virulence strains and low-virulence strains of V. parahaemolyticus. We found that the intracellular mean number of virulence strains of V.

Expression of glutamine synthetase in Tegillarca granosa (Bivalvia, Arcidae) hemocytes stimulated by Vibrio parahaemolyticus and lipopolysaccharides

Y. B. Bao, Li, L., Ye, M. X., Dong, Y. H., Jin, W. X., and Lin, Z. H., Expression of glutamine synthetase in Tegillarca granosa (Bivalvia, Arcidae) hemocytes stimulated by Vibrio parahaemolyticus and lipopolysaccharides, vol. 12, pp. 1143-1154, 2013.

The blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa, is a widely consumed clam in the Indo-Pacific region. Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine. We identified the GS of T. granosa (Tg-GS) from hemocytes by 3'- and 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR. The full-length cDNA consisted of 1762 bp, with a 1104-bp open reading frame encoding 367 amino acids.
