Chemotaxis Assay for Marsupenaeus japonicas Hemocytes and Application for the Development of an Oral Immunostimulant Against White Spot Syndrome Virus

The chemotactic activity of vertebrate leukocytes is an important host-defense mechanism. However, chemotaxis of invertebrate immune cells, particularly those of shrimp species, is incompletely understood and critically understudied. In this study, we aimed to optimize the conditions for a Boyden ch...
