  • Title: Serine proteinase inhibitor profiles in the hemolymph of a wide range of insect species.
    Author: Polanowski A, Wilusz T, Blum MS, Escoubas P, Schmidt JO, Travis J.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1992 Aug; 102(4):757-60. PubMed ID: 1395509.
    Abstract:
    1. The inhibition of trypsin, chymotrypsin, neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G, and pancreatic elastase by the hemolymph of 14 insect species in six orders has been investigated. 2. All samples showed great diversity in terms of both total proteinase inhibitory capacity and specificity. 3. The highest total inhibitory capacity was found in the larval hemolymph of species in the beetle family Tenebrionidae and the lowest in that of an adult coreid bug, Acanthocephala femorata.
