LPS (Lipopolysaccharide)-activated immune responses in a ...
Jul 01, 1997·The suitability of the hemocyte cell line BTI-EA-1174-A from Estigmene acraea (Lepidoptera) to serve as a tool for studying insect immune reactions in vitro was investigated. Addition of bacterial lipopolysaccharides to the cultures caused enhanced phagocytosis of silica beads, as well as increased lysozyme activity in the cell culture supernatants.
