Characterization of Spleen Transcriptome of Schizothorax prenanti during Aeromonas hydrophila Infection.

Schizothorax prenanti (S. prenanti) is an indigenous fish species and is popularly cultured in southwestern China. In recent years, intensive farming of S.

Identification of Immune-Related Genes and Development of SSR/SNP Markers from the Spleen Transcriptome of Schizothorax prenanti.

Schizothorax prenanti (S. prenanti) is mainly distributed in the upstream regions of the Yangtze River and its tributaries in China. This species is indigenous and commercially important.

A novel C-type lectin, Nattectin-like protein, with a wide range of bacterial agglutination activity in large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea.

C-type lectins (CTLs) are generally recognized as a superfamily of Ca(2+)-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins, which serve as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in innate immunity of vertebrates. In this study, the molecular characterization and immune roles of a novel CTL from Larimichthys crocea (designated as LcNTC) were investigated. LcNTC is a novel protein that shared 33%-49% homology with other teleosts CTLs.
