“…Similarly, there was a signifi cant increase in serum acid phosphatase activity in patients with Gaucher's disease (Chambers et al, 1977). Conversely, patients with atrophied tonsils have signifi cantly lower alkaline phosphatase activity (Jesic et al, 2010). Thus, the increase in ACP activity in screened crabs suggests they have an enhanced immune system.…”

We established a line (screened) of Portunus trituberculatus by selectively breeding individuals that survived from challenge with Vibrio alginolyticus , and compared the response of screened and unscreened (control) P. trituberculatus challenged with V. alginolyticus . We measured superoxide dismutase, catalase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and peroxidase activity and the content of hemocyanin in the plasma and phenoloxidase activity in serum. The cumulative survival rate after 24-h challenge with V . alginolyticus was signifi cantly higher in the screened crabs than in the unscreened crabs ( P <0.05). T-SOD and PO activity were signifi cantly lower in the screened stock than in the unscreened stock ( P <0.05). POD, CAT, and ACP activity and hemocyanin content were signifi cantly higher in the screened stock than in the unscreened stock. Our results suggest that the screened stock was more resistant to infection. Furthermore, the indices we measured may be used to evaluate the health state of P . trituberculatus .

“…The establishment of PTA ultimately requires the disruption of oropharyngeal commensal-host homeostasis followed by Compromised immunity comorbidity factor: high incidence of PTA in patients with IM and Kawasaki's disease (36, 85 -87) compromised humoral immunity allowing tissue invasion (90) contrary to control data, HBD-1 expression in tonsils from patients with recurrent AT is not significantly increased when challenged with GAS (88) evidence of genetic susceptibility to other throat infections such as recurrent tonsillitis (60,75,88,89) inflammation as a result of superficial infection can lead to increased access of pathogens (87) poor humoral response to pathogen, allowing growth (30,60,88) Antibiotic use increased incidence of PTA correlates with increased prescribed antibiotics for sore throat (19,51) pathogen switch: kill/inhibit original pathogen allowing resistant, potentially more virulent species to invade suggested that antibiotic use promotes pathogenicity (49) promote growth and pathogenesis of b-lactamase opportunists (19) encourages bacteria to invade tonsillar tissue (51) Parentheses denote reference numbers for sources of evidence.…”

“…In addition, the conversion of lymphocytes into macrophages involves cellular energy which might be provided by alkaline phosphatase enzyme [23]. Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase enzyme is a cell membrane bound glycoprotein that may be involved in transmitting the information between different types of immunologic cells and mainly expressed in the B cells leading to their differentiation, activation, and proliferation [24].…”

The present study was envisaged to explore the localization of a panel of oxidoreductases and phosphatases enzymes in the lingual tonsil, palatine tonsil, and tonsil of soft palate of six healthy adult buffaloes. The succinic dehydrogenase, lactic dehydrogenase, glutamic dehydrogenase, and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase showed a strong positive activity in the stratum Basale layer of the stratified squamous epithelium of the tonsils. The diffuse lymphoid tissue and the striated muscles showed moderate to strong positive reactions. The mucous secretory acini did not show any affinity for these enzymes, however, a uniform moderate to strong positive reaction was observed towards their basement membranes. The acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphatase showed a strong positive activity in the deepest layer of cells next to the basement membrane of the stratified squamous epithelium of all the tonsils of oro-pharyngeal region. The associated submucosal lymphoid tissue and the glandular tissue of the tonsils showed positive reactions like those of the oxidoreductases group of enzymes. A comparison of the pattern of localization of these enzymes in healthy and infected animals may play a significant role in disease diagnosis, if any.
