Key Finding
The authors further found that one bracovirus C-type lectin gene, CvBV_28-1, is highly expressed in the hemocytes of parasitized hosts and participates in suppressing the proliferation rate of host hemocytes, which in turn reduces their population and represses the process of encapsulation.
Countstar Connection
Countstar (model not specified) measured cell numbers in the study's cell samples during quality assessment in the 2022 Frontiers in immunology study.
