tests with inactivated cricket paralysis virus as a possible immunogen against a virus infection of galleria mellonella larvae. | the antibody-binding capacity of cricket paralysis virus was only slightly reduced by inactivation with heat or formaldehyde. however, galleria mellonella larvae vaccinated with such inactivated cricket paralysis virus preparations and subsequently challenged with live homologous virus were not protected. | 1980 | 7203971 |
new insecticidal cyclodepsipeptides from the fungus isaria felina. i. production, isolation and insecticidal properties of isariins b, c and d. | three new cyclodepsipeptides related to the previously described isariin were isolated from a strain of isaria felina. they were named isariins b, c and d. isariin d and, to a lesser extent, isariin c, exhibited insecticidal activity against galleria mellonella larvae, whereas isariin b and isariin itself proved inactive. | 1981 | 7198111 |
calcium content and distribution in egg vesicles of galleria mellonella (lepidoptera) as determined by x-ray microanalysis. | in egg vesicles of galleria mellonella (lepidoptera) electron microprobe analysis reveals calcium in concentrations of 9 and 3 mmoles per 1,000 g tissue wet weight in oocyters and accompanying trophic cells, respectively. this high average level of calcium characterizes both pre- and postvitellogenic oocytes, but the distribution of calcium is not uniform. in postvitellogenic vesicles the central area of the ooplasm shows a higher content of ca than peripheral one, what may be correlated with th ... | 1980 | 7190558 |
[dynamics of egg maturation in the parasitoid lixophaga diatraeae (diptera, tachinidae) raised in a substitute host, galleria mellonella (lepidoptera, pyralidae)]. | the content of the uterus and ovaries of l. diatraeae (an ovolarviparous tachinid fly) was studied by dissecting 121 females 0 to 25 days old. several size classes of flies (p: small; m: medium; g: big) were used, weighing 10 to 12.5 mg, 12.5 to 13.5 mg, and 13.5 to 16 mg, respectively. the mean number of ovarioles per ovary, correlated to female size, was 12.1 for p as against 12.9 for m + g females. the total mean number of eggs and oocytes changed with female age and weight. for 0, 5, 10 and ... | 1982 | 7156496 |
juvenoids cause some insects to form composite cuticles. | metamorphosing insects treated with juvenoids may secrete composite cuticles which combine morphological features of two metamorphic stages within the area secreted by an individual epidermal cell. characters found combined were pigmentation, tanning, surface sculpturing, and microtrichiae. neighbouring cells frequently form different types of cuticle. composite cuticles should not be confused with the more common mosaic cuticles, which are composed of discrete areas with different stage-specifi ... | 1982 | 7153697 |
[a non-damaging procedure for dna isolation from insect cell nuclei]. | a gentle procedure is described for dna isolation from galleria mellonella cell nuclei. nuclei lysis was performed by sds in final concentration of 3% which was followed by dna extraction from chromatin by a stepwise rise of nacl concentration up to 2.5 m. after removal of nuclei insoluble components by centrifugation the native dna was purified using the hydroxyapatite column. the method proposed provides a higher yield of the native dna as compared with the phenol-detergent method. | 2015 | 7101477 |
[quantitative determination of the infectivity of nuclear polyhedrosis virus dna on honeycomb moth (galleria mellonella) larvae]. | the possibility of using honeycomb moth larvae for titration of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (npv) infectious dna and determinations of transfection effectiveness was studied. honeycomb moth larvae were shown to be a sensitive system for npv dna titration. deae-dextran used as a protector increased npv dna infectivity 1000-fold, ld50 in this instance being 2 x 10(8) molecules per larva. the method of npv dna infectivity determinations by the number of larvae with polyhedreae in the fatty tissue is ... | 1980 | 7001752 |
[derivation of a transplantable cell line from oak silkworm ovarian tissue]. | a continuous cell line (m. s. a. p.-1) was obtained from the ovaries of diapausing pupae of the oak silkmoth antheraea pernyi. active multiplication of cells was observed two months after preparing a primary culture from partly trypsinized tissues. subcultures derived at this time were transmitted with 10 day intervals and endure over 30 passages. the cells are susceptible to the nuclear polyhedrosis viruses of mamestra brassicae, galleria mellonella, malacosoma neustria and bombyx mori. | 2008 | 6998064 |

ultrastructural and immunocytochemical investigation of ecdysteroid secretion by the prothoracic gland of the waxmoth galleria mellonella. | the formation and secretion of ecdysteroid by the prothoracic gland cells of galleria mellonella (insecta, lepidoptera) were investigated electron microscopically and immunocytochemically. the moulting hormone ecdysone becomes first evident in vesicles and tubules of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ser). the ser forms secretory granules in which ecdysone was shown immunocytochemically. the golgi apparatus seems not to be directly involved in ecdysone secretion. the secretory granules are relea ... | 1983 | 6850754 |
structural and thermodynamic investigation of the chilo iridescent virus (iridovirus type 6). | structural features and thermodynamic parameters of the complete chilo iridescent virus (iridovirus type 6) and its constituents, isolated from the larvae of galleria mellonella, were evaluated by means of uv spectroscopy and microcalorimetry. it can be demonstrated that the viral dna is attached to the coat protein in a chromatin-like fashion, which is preserved after disruption of the virus by low temperature or partial digestion of the coat protein with proteinase k. at elevated temperature h ... | 1983 | 6838381 |
heterorhabditis spp., neoaplectana spp., and steinernema kraussei: interspecific and intraspecific differences in infectivity for insects. | the effectiveness of various dosages of different species/strains of nematodes was compared for galleria mellonella and various pest insects that live in or pupate in soil. neoaplectana feltiae (= carpocapsae), the only nematode species tested by most other workers, was never the most infective for any of the insect species tested and was least infective for two. all species/strains of nematode were able to kill insects of each species. the degree of infectivity of each of the nematode species/s ... | 1983 | 6832283 |
[a method for the ultrastructural, immunocytochemical detection of ecdysone]. | the investigations were carried out with prothoracic glands of galleria mellonella. the influence of various fixation media on the preservation of the ultrastructure and on the immunocytochemical staining of the steroid ecdysone was studied. an immunocytochemical staining technique for ecdysone is described allowing the ultrastructural localization of ecdysone in different cellular compartments. | 1982 | 6815959 |
effects of hemolymph from immune and non-immune larvae of galleria mellonella on the ultra-structure of pseudomonas aeruginosa. | the ultrastructure of pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen of galleria mellonella is rapidly altered after in vitro exposure to the hemolymph of vaccinated larvae. the bacteria were treated with normal and immune hemolymph for periods of time ranging from 7 to 28 min at 28 degrees c. in contrast to the apparent non-damaging effects of normal hemolymph, the immune hemolymph caused progressive damage to the cells within 7 min. the initial attack was directed towards the cell wall. complete degradati ... | 1982 | 6813153 |

calcium binding sites in the insect polytrophic egg vesicles as possible markers of the route of inflow of calcium. | calcium binding sites were revealed in the polytropic egg vesicles of galleria mellonella (lepidoptera) by fixation of the ovariole with glutaraldehyde in the presence of excess of calcium. calcium dependent deposits appeared in the mitochondrial matrix in cells of the epithelial sheath and of the follicular epithelium. the deposits were also seen in the extracellular space around the follicular epithelial cells and around the trophocytes , at the oolemma, and in the coated vesicles of the oocyt ... | 1984 | 6735280 |
the synthesis of rna and silk protein in galleria mellonella silk glands. | the silk protein synthesis in silk glands of galleria mellonella is preceded by the increase of total rna content. the levels of the main rna classes: 28s and 18s rrna, trna as well as poly(a) + rna change proportionally to the total rna pool of glands. the fibroin-like silk protein of molecular weight of about 240 000 is characterized by the high content of four amino acids: glycine, alanine, serine and leucine, which account for more than 70% of amino acid residues. this fibroin-like protein i ... | 1984 | 6720190 |
[the effects of bacillus thuringiensis on the greater wax moth, galleria mellonella (l.) (lepidoptera: galleriidae)]. | the effects of bacillus thuringiensis preparation on the greater wax moth population have been investigated under laboratory conditions. b. thuringiensis isolated from commercial insecticidal formulations such as dipelr (abbott lab. usa), tribactur btb wp (fabrick von chemische production, holland), bactospein (laboratoire roger, france). the effective strain was used in this experiment. the applied concentrations of bacillus on the greater wax moth larvae are 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 gram, ... | 1983 | 6669083 |
changes in ecdysteroid and juvenile hormone titers in the hemolymph of galleria mellonella larvae and pupae. | the variations in circulating ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones (jh) in galleria, from the end of the antepenultimate larval stage until emergence of adults, have been determined. the two hormonal families were extracted separately from the same hemolymph sample and quantified by two radioimmunoassays. juvenile hormone ria activity was about 35 nm in larvae of the antepenultimate and penultimate stages. it dropped before each molt and increased thereafter. moreover, it gradually decreased durin ... | 1984 | 6510685 |
the in vitro generation of an antibacterial activity from the fat body and hemolymph of non-immunized larvae of galleria mellonella. | a state of immunity in galleria mellonella against the pathogen pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to be induced by the injection of lipopolysaccharide (lps), isolated from the homologous organism. an in vitro mixture of the lps and whole or cell-free hemolymph from non-immunized larvae is not antibacterial. in vitro mixtures of fat body and cell-free hemolymph from non-immunized larvae, incubated at 25 degrees c for 20 hours generated a proteinaceous antibacterial activity. the generation of this ... | 1984 | 6437887 |
transfer of immunity against pseudomonas aeruginosa p11-1 in galleria mellonella larvae. | larvae of galleria mellonella may be immunized against pseudomonas aeruginosa by the transfer of whole hemolymph, cell-free hemolymph or hemocytes from insects previously immunized with the lipopolysaccharide of the homologous organisms. whole immune hemolymph injected as early as 3 hours after vaccination confers protection which persists as long as 40 hours. hemocytes alone confer good protection when transferred as early as 30 minutes after, and up to about 4 hours after immunization. transfe ... | 1983 | 6416902 |
structural alterations to proteus mirabilis as a result of exposure to haemolymph from the larvae of galleria mellonella. | scanning and transmission electron microscopy was used to examine proteus mirabilis, strain 11-1a, for morphologic alterations following exposure to normal and immune cell-free haemolymph obtained from galleria mellonella larvae. it was found that both normal and immune haemolymph exerted effects on the bacterial cells, with immune haemolymph affecting a much higher percentage of cells than normal haemolymph. the morphological damage observed by scanning electron microscopy (sem) included abnorm ... | 1984 | 6374385 |
nucleotide sequence of the galleria mellonella nuclear polyhedrosis virus origin of dna replication. | the initiation sites of the galleria mellonella l. nuclear polyhedrosis virus (g.m. npv) dna replication were revealed. for this purpose scld 135 cells permitting the g.m. npv productive reproduction were transformed by the recombinant plasmids containing the viral genome individual fragments in prsf 2124 and pbr 322 vectors. it was revealed that 2 of the 32 recombinant plasmids can autonomously replicate in the eucaryotic cells. according to the maxam-gilbert method the dna g.m. npv fragment (1 ... | 1984 | 6365591 |
photoreactivation and ultraviolet-enhanced reactivation of ultraviolet-irradiated nuclear polyhedrosis virus by insect cells. | the nuclear polyhedrosis virus (baculovirus) of galleria mellonella (pryalidae: lepidoptera) was used to investigate the capability of cultured insect cells to repair ultraviolet (uv) induced damage in the viral genome. when assayed by the formation of plaques in the cell line tn-368, the survival of the virus was found to decrease linearly with increased ultraviolet exposure. the infectious capacity of uv-irradiated virions was significantly restored after exposing the tn-368 monolayers to eith ... | 1984 | 6365037 |
observations on the cytochemistry of the hemocytes of an insect, galleria mellonella. | a number of cytochemical parameters of the hemocytes of larval galleria mellonella, an insect frequently used as a model by comparative cellular immunologists, are described. cytochemical methods were used to quantify hemocyte granule-associated components, the results are compared to those obtained for leukocytes from higher animals. granulocytes contained a population of nonlysosomal granules rich in mucopolysaccharide not seen in plasmatocytes. the numbers and dimensions of these granules sho ... | 1983 | 6188780 |
stimulation of rna transcription by juvenile hormone in degenerating silk glands. | rna transcription in the silk glands of the wax moth, galleria mellonella, decreases during cocoon spinning and particularly later in pharate pupae, when the glands begin to degenerate. application of juvenile hormone to insects at those developmental stages enhances synthesis of polyadenylated rna 4-6 times and to lesser extent synthesis of total rna. the newly formed poly(a)rna appears identical with that from the normally fully functioning and silk-producing glands: it contains the same predo ... | 1982 | 6176479 |
influence of biologically active substances isolated from galleria mellonella on neurons of lymnaea stagnalis in culture. | a procedure for isolating biologically active substances from galleria mellonella using a culture of isolated giant neurons of mollusc lymnaea stagnalis as a test-system is described. fractions capable of activating neurites and inhibiting aggregation of neuronal cells within a range of concentrations from 1 to 30 micrograms/ml were isolated. the fractions obtained have in their chemical composition about 10.5% n, also contain p and s. they have a carbohydrate component. | 1984 | 6146471 |
