Recognition proteins play an important role in the immunodefense system of
invertebrates. Thus, present study aimed to isolate a recognition protein, via Heparin
column from Slipper cupped oyster, Crassostrea iredalei haemolymph plasma to
elucidate its roles in prophenoloxidase-activation systems (proPO) and to
characterise it. The protein was isolated using affinity column chromatography with
yield of 8% and a single peak.
