Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The present study reports the purification and characterization of immune molecule lectin from the green tiger shrimp Penaeus semiculcatus, which involves the non-self-recognition mechanism to destroy the infectious pathogens that continuously threaten their survival. P. semisulcatus lectin ( Ps- Lec) was purified by affinity chromatography with mannose coupled sepharose CL-4B column and showed the 37 and 118 kDa subunits in SDS-PAGE. The surface morphology of purified Ps -Lec exhibits the crystalline and aggregated nature in Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Functional analysis of purified Ps- Lec showed that the broad spectrum of bacterial agglutination activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, Ps -Lec had the ability to involve in the haemoagglutination activity, which agglutinates the several vertebrate erythrocytes tested, and the haemagglutination titres were observed under light microscopy. Interestingly, Ps -Lec also exhibits the fungal aggregation activity against Candida albicans, this is the first report regarding the β-glucan recognition ability of fungal aggregation of Ps -Lec. Moreover, phenoloxidase activity was triggered by the Ps- Lec when compared to control. The present study reveals that Ps -Lec is an important multifunctional humoral defence protein plays a significant role against the bacterial and fungal cells.
