Simultaneous existence of hemolysins and hemagglutinins in the coelomic fluid and in the cocoon albumen of the earthworm Eisenia fetida andrei

Vermiwash: An agent of disease and pest control in soil, a review

“…Antimicrobial peptides in earthworm's mucus, skin secretions and coelomic fluid display phagocytosis, encapsulation, agglutination, opsonization, clotting and lysis properties, which can identify pathogens and act against them ( Homa, 2018 ). Cellular defense is responsible for phagocytosing the pathogen whereas humoral defense response, agglutination, opsonization, clotting and lysis found in skin secretion, mucus and coelomic fluid ( Valembois et al, 1984 ; Vaillier et al, 1985 ; Field et al, 2004 ).…”

Immune defense and biological responses induced by toxics in Annelida

“…Sheep and rabbit erythrocytes are both lysed and agglutinated in Glycera dibranchiata (Anderson 1980), Neoamphitrite figulus, and Arenicola marina (Dales 1982). Hemolysis and hemagglutination occur simultaneously in the CF and cocoon albumen of E. fetida (Valembois et al 1984). Cross-reactivity of hemolytic and hemagglutinating proteins has been demonstrated in the CF of several earthworm species.…”

Sites of expression of mRNA for lysenin, a protein isolated from the coelomic fluid of the earthworm Eisenia foetida

“…The coelomic fluid (CF) of the earthworm Eisenia foetida has a variety of biological activities, namely, hemolytic (Lange et al 1997;Milochau et al 1997;Eue et al 1998), antibacterial (Valembois et al 1986;Lassègues et al 1997;Milochau et al 1997), cytotoxic (Kauschke and Mohrig 1987;Roch et al 1998), proteolytic (Leipner et al 1993;Kauschke et al 1997), agglutinating (Valembois et al 1984;Mohrig et al 1996), β-1,3-glucan-binding, lipopolysaccharide-binding ) and mitogenic (Hanušová et al 1999) capacities. Recently, two proteins of 40 kDa and 45 kDa, designated fetidins (Milochau et al 1997) and exhibiting hemolytic and antibacterial activity, were isolated from the CF of E. foetida.…”
