The prophenoloxidase activating system of the shrimp Penaeus paulensis and associated factors
TL;DR: Serum can be used as an alternative for the study of the shrimp proPO activating system, as it is much more readily obtained than HLS, and its involvement in non-self recognition is suggested.

TL;DR: A specialized database, PenBase, which is freely available at , has been developed for the penaeidin family of antimicrobial peptides, to provide comprehensive information about their properties, diversity and nomenclature.
Evaluation of some hemato-immunological parameters in the shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis submitted to environmental and physiological stress
TL;DR: Interestingly, PO activity markedly decreased in all tested salinities in the last 2 weeks, suggesting a partial suppression of the prophenoloxidase (proPO) system probably due to the stress caused by captivity.

Antimicrobial peptides in crustaceans
TL;DR: This review tentatively classified the crustaceans into four main groups based on their amino acid composition, structural features and multi-functionality, and attempted to summarize the current knowledge on their implication both in an efficient response to microbial infections and in crustacean survival.
