In this study, we established a murine cell line that expresses ginbuna crucian carp (ginbuna) CD4-2 and used it to develop an anti-CD4-2 monoclonal antibody (mAb). An established mAb, named D5, showed good reactivities to BALB/c 3T3 cells expressing CD4-2 and a lymphocyte population in the ginbuna leukocytes. Gene expression analysis showed that D5 cells express CD4-2 and TCRβ genes but not CD4-1 and IgM genes, meanwhile May Grunwald-Giemsa staining of sorted D5 cells had the typical morphology of lymphocytes. Two-color immunofluorescence analysis with anti-CD4-1 mAb (6D1) and anti-CD4-2 mAb (D5) by flow cytometry revealed that the percentages of CD4-1 single positive (SP) and CD4-2 SP lymphocytes were comparatively higher than CD4-1/CD4-2 double positive (CD4 DP) lymphocytes in all tissues examined in ginbuna. The highest percentage of CD4-2 SP cells (∼40%) was found in the thymus, while the head-kidney exhibited the highest percentages of CD4-1 SP (∼30%) and CD4 DP (∼5%) cells. These findings indicated that ginbuna CD4 lymphocyte population consists of two major subpopulations (CD4-1 SP and CD4-2 SP) and a minor subset (CD4 DP).

In mammals, CD4 is found to be expressed on T cells and innate immune cells, however, teleost cells bearing CD4 have not been well identified and characterized. In this study, we identified two different CD4-1 cell subsets in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella): CD4-1 lymphocytes (Lym) and CD4-1 myeloid cells (Mye), both of which had the highest proportions in the head kidney. The mRNA expression analysis showed that CD4-1, CD4-2, TCRβ, CD3γ/δ, and LCK1 are highly expressed in CD4-1 Lym and also expressed in CD4-1 Mye.

β-defensin of flounder plays an important role in immunomodulation by recruiting immune cells and has a potential vaccine adjuvant effect in addition to its bactericidal activity. In this study, adjuvant effects of β-defensin on DNA vaccine OmpC against edwardsiellosis in flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) were investigated.

CD4 and LAG-3 are related molecules that are receptors for MHC class II molecules. Their major functional differences are situated in their cytoplasmic tails, in which CD4 has an activation motif and LAG-3 an inhibitory motif. Here, we identify shark and show that a previously identified shark gene has a genomic location, expression pattern, and motifs similar to in other vertebrates.

is a severe Gram-positive pathogen that can infect a wide range of freshwater and marine fish species. In continuation of our earlier studies on the development of vaccine candidates, pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha (PDHA1) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were highly efficacious in protecting flounder () against . In the present study, to investigate the potential of multi-epitope vaccination strategy to prevent flounder against infection, the liner B-cell epitopes of PDHA1 and GAPDH proteins were predicted using a bioinformatics approach and were identified by immunoassay, and recombinant B-cell multi-epitopes of PDHA1 and GAPDH (rMEPIP and rMEPIG) containing immunodominant epitope-concentrated domains were expressed in BL21 (DE3) and were used as a subunit vaccine to immunize healthy flounder, while recombinant PDHA1 (rPDHA1), GAPDH (rGAPDH) and formalin-inactivated (FKC) served as controls.
