Immunological memory in a teleost fish: common carp IgM B cells differentiate into memory and plasma cells.

Article Synopsis
- All vertebrates, from ancient fishes to mammals, possess adaptive immunity and immunological memory, although the specific responding cells in fish have not been clearly defined.
- Researchers infected common carp with a cnidarian parasite and observed that B cells proliferated and showed signs of differentiation, indicating they can form memory cells.
- The study revealed that these memory B cells can persist for at least six months, alongside identifying a distinct population of plasma cells, suggesting that teleost fish possess the necessary immune components for effective long-term disease protection akin to other vertebrates.

RNA interference (RNAi) is an effective approach to suppress gene expression and monitor gene regulation. Despite its wide application, its use is limited in certain taxonomic groups, including cnidarians. Myxozoans are a unique group of cnidarian parasites that diverged from their free-living ancestors about 600 million years ago, with several species causing acute disease in farmed and wild fish populations.

Myxozoans are a diverse group of cnidarian parasites, including important pathogens in different aquaculture species, without effective legalized treatments for fish destined for human consumption. We tested the effect of natural feed additives on immune parameters of common carp and in the course of a controlled laboratory infection with the myxozoan . Carp were fed a base diet enriched with 0.

Background: Parasites employ proteases to evade host immune systems, feed and replicate and are often the target of anti-parasite strategies to disrupt these interactions. Myxozoans are obligate cnidarian parasites, alternating between invertebrate and fish hosts. Their genes are highly divergent from other metazoans, and available genomic and transcriptomic datasets are limited.
