Identification of the Zebrafish IFN Receptor: Implications for the Origin of the Vertebrate IFN System

TL;DR: Based on the organization of the zIFN gene and the protein structure of the identified receptor components, the virus-induced fish IFNs appear as orthologs of mammalian IFN-λ, specifying type III IFN as the ancestral antiviral system of vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

The two groups of zebrafish virus-induced interferons signal via distinct receptors with specific and shared chains.

TL;DR: Two subgroups of fish virus-induced IFNs have been defined based on conserved cysteines, and it is found that this subdivision correlates with receptor usage and all zebrafish IFNφs do not bind to the same receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of polarized macrophage subsets in zebrafish

TL;DR: The results reveal the diversity and plasticity of zebrafishmacrophage subsets and underline the similarities with mammalian macrophages proposing a new system to study macrophage functional dynamic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and localization of the neonatal Fc receptor in adult human kidney.

TL;DR: In immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical studies using normal adult human kidney sections, the presence of the so-called neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) was demonstrated on GEC as well as in the brush border of proximal tubular cells.
