Haemolymph protein in xanthid crabs from the Great Barrier Reef
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Haemolymph was obtained from 26 xanthid crabs collected at low tide from Reef 21-145 and Laver's Cay on the Great Barrier Reef. A combinatin of protease inhibitors (5 mM EDTA, 1... -
Human fatalities in Vanuatu after eating the xanthid crab, Daira perlata
Australian Institute of Marine Science
This was the first case of the crab species, Daira perlata, being inplicated in toxic poisoning. Autopsies were not carried out on the two teenagers who died in 2000 after... -
Human fatality in Timor Leste after eating the xanthid crab, Zosimus aeneus
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Sodium channel and saxiphilin radioreceptor assays were carried out to determine whether paralytic shellfish toxins were present in the gut contents, liver, blood, bile and... -
Measurement of paralytic shellfish toxins in molluscan extracts
Australian Institute of Marine Science
The methods saxiphilin radioreceptor assay, mammalian Na channel, the commercial cell culture MIST kit, mouse lethality bioassay and HPLC analysis were compared for measuring... -
Phylogenetic survey of soluble saxitoxin-binding activity by saxiphilin
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Plasma tissue and haemolymph samples from 118 species across a range of phyla were assayed for the presence of saxiphilin [3H]STX, a soluble protein which binds the neurotoxin... -
The behaviour of mixtures of paralytic shellfish toxins in receptor dependent assays
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Using two unrelated STX-binding proteins (the rat brain Na channel and a saxiphilin from the xanthid crab Liomera tristis), this study experimentally validated the predicted... -
Gauging the effects of shellfish extract matrices, salts and pH upon...
Australian Institute of Marine Science
In this study, a microtitre plate binding assay using a saxiphilin isoform [3H]STX from the centipede Ethmostigmus rubripes, was challenged with differing conditions of salt...
