ABSTRACT Cell free hemolymph from Haliotis diversicolor supertexta was prepared from fluid collected at 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96 h after injection with either Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus or 0.9 NaCl solution (control group). The response of selected innate immune parameters (lysozyme, antibacterial activity, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, phenoloxidase, and superoxide dismutase) was investigated. Results showed that the activities of ACP (Acid Phosphatase) from...
