Abstract

 Background: Lectins act in plants and animals as recognition units against invasive pathogens, participate by activating the immune system, and function as recognition mediators of immune response in invertebra­tes. Few studies have evaluated the effect of immunostimulants on the activation of lectins in crustaceans. Goals: To evaluate the lectin concentration in juvenile shrimp treated with commercial and microbial im­munostimulants. Methods: Five treatments were added directly to the culture tanks every third day during 12 days: 1) laminarin (0.5 mg ml-1); 2) mix 1 (Bacillus tequilensis and B. licheniformis; 2x106 CFU ml-1, 1:1 proportion); 3) mix 2 (B. endophyticus, strain YC3-B and strain C2-2; 2x106 CFU ml-1, proportion 1:1); 4) Debaryomyces hansenii (1x106 CFU ml-1); 5) control (without immunostimulants). At day 12, after the last treatments were added, samples of hemolymph were extracted from shrimp at 24, 48, and 72 h to determine lectin concentration by the ELISA method, using monoclonal antibodies against Macrobrachium rosenbergii lectin (MrL). Results: Significant differences (p <0.05) in the lectin concentration were found in shrimp groups treated with laminarin at 24 h after the last exposure to the treatment, followed by mix 1 and mix 2 at 72 h after exposure to the treatments. At 48 h, treatments did not register significant differences (p >0.05) when compared to the control groups. Shrimp exposed to D. hansenii did not show significant increase in lectin concentration compared to the control groups. Conclusions: This study showed that lectin concen­tration may be increased in plasma of juvenile shrimp and used as a bioindicator tool of immunostimulation.
