Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular diversity of skin mucus lectins in fish.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that skin mucus lectins in fish have wide molecular diversity and shares sequence homology with mannose-binding lectins of monocotyledonous plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lectins Homologous to Those of Monocotyledonous Plants in the Skin Mucus and Intestine of Pufferfish, Fugu rubripes
TL;DR: Pufflectin shares sequence homology with mannose-binding lectins of monocotyledonous plants and has conserved two of three carbohydrate recognition domains of these plant lectins and suggests that pufflectin contributes to the parasite-defense system in Fugu.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and primary structure of a galectin in the skin mucus of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica.

TL;DR: The characteristics and primary structure of AJL-1, one of the lectins in the skin mucus of the Japanese eel, were examined, and it showed agglutinating activity against pathogenic bacteria, Streptococcus difficile, suggesting that AJl-1 functions as an important defensive factor at the body surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yeast-binding C-type lectin with opsonic activity from conger eel (Conger myriaster) skin mucus.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that conCL-s acts as an opsonin and plays an important role in the innate immunity on the body surface in conger eels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression profiles of cytokines released in intestinal epithelial cells of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, in response to bacterial infection
Koichiro Komatsu,Shigeyuki Tsutsui,Kazuyoshi Hino,Kyosuke Araki,Yasutoshi Yoshiura,Atsushi Yamamoto,Osamu Nakamura,Tasuku Watanabe +7 more
TL;DR: The production of inflammatory cytokines by IECs is caused by the adhesion of A. salmonicida, but is not due to only simple ligand-receptor interactions between the surface molecules of I ECs and the bacterium or in response to bacterial secretions.
