General description

Hemocyanin is a large, multi-subunit respiratory protein present in arthropods and mollucs. They circulate extracellularly in hemolymph. Hemocyanins do not contain iron but bind oxygen at an active site containing copper atoms ligated by protein side chains.

Application

Anti-Hemocyanin (KLH) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • immunocytochemistry{58
  • }immunohistochemistry
  • immunofluorescent staining
  • immunoblotting

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunocytochemistry (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Keyhole limpet hemocyanin has been used traditionally as a protein carrier for hapten-carrier conjugates in immunochemistry. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) has been regarded as a superior carrier. Affinity isolated antibody to hemocyanin may be used as a control reagent for the preparation and immunization of hapten-carrier conjugates.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide

Immunocytochemical techniques were used to investigate the appearance and distribution of calretinin in the olfactory system of developing and adult brown trout (Salmo trutta fario L.). The earliest calretinin-immunoreactive (CR-ir) cells were detected in the olfactory placode of 5-mm embryos.

KLH (Keyhole limpet hemocyanin) is highly immunogenic, and crossreactive epitopes occur widely in nature. In schistosomiasis, infected hosts generate antibodies reactive with KLH. This is of diagnostic importance but we lack detailed information on the immunogen-carrying molecules and their distribution

The number of individuals catching schistosomiasis has increased with the popularity of 'primitive tourism' in Africa. Highly immunogenic material originating from the intestine of intravascular adult schistosomes gives rise to an antibody response making possible early identification of infected individuals

The parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni, causative agent of human intestinal schistosomiasis in South America, relies importantly on the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata as intermediate host to achieve development of cercariae that infect humans.
