Abstract: Fibrinogen-related proteins (FREPs) that contain only the fibrinogen-related domain are likely involved in pathogen recognition. In this study, we identified two FREPs from the razor clam (Sinonovacula constricta), called ScFREP-1 and ScFREP-2, and investigated their… read more here.

Abstract: Ticks are important vectors of serious human and animal disease-causing organisms, but their innate immunity can fight invading pathogens and may have the ability to reduce or block transmission to mammalian hosts. Lectins, sugar-binding proteins,… read more here.
