Figure 6
Graphical representation of humoral and cellular responses of clams upon Perkinsus infection. The two panels represent the initial recognition by lectins (left panel) and some response factors (right panel) associated with oxidative and proteolytic protection at intracellular level, like hydrolytic enzymes, Nitric oxide (NO); peroxynitrite (ONOO-); Anion superoxide O2- Hypochloride (HOCl); inductible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS); superoxide dismutase (SOD); myeloperoxidase (MPO) (adapted from Soudant et al. 2008, 2009).
