Do snails Lymnaea stagnalis have phenoloxidase activity in hemolymph?
Hemocytes and hemolymph of snail Lymnaea stagnalis were analyzed to detect phenoloxidase (PO) activity. No PO activity was found in the hemocytes of snails. A low level of PO activity (by DOPA oxidation) was registered in the hemolymph without cells. Addition of a specific PO inhibitor revealed the...
