Journal ArticleDOI

Channel catfish cytotoxic cells: a mini-review.

TL;DR: These studies clearly demonstrate that catfish possess an array of different cytotoxic cells, and the availability of various cloned cytot toxic cell lines should enable unambiguous functional studies to be performed in ways not currently possible with any other fish species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive survey and genomic characterization of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus: identification of novel fish TLRs

TL;DR: Channel catfish Toll-like receptors demonstrated a very high identity to human TLR7 strongly suggesting that ligand specificity maybe conserved, and expression profiling confirmed that most TLRs are widely expressed in a diversity of tissues and revealed marked differences of expression level.
Journal ArticleDOI

The IgH locus of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, contains multiple constant region gene sequences: different genes encode heavy chains of membrane and secreted IgD.

TL;DR: Western blots and protein sequencing data indicate that an IGHD3-encoded protein is expressed in catfish serum, and indicates that catfish δm transcripts appear to originate from IGHD1, whereas δs transcripts originate fromIGHD3 rather than, as previously inferred, from a single expressed δ gene.
Journal Article

Environmental effects on fish immune mechanisms

TL;DR: Since immune responses which protect against invading pathogens frequently involve interactions between both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system, it seems reasonable to conclude that either acute or chronic exposure to stress factors may predispose fish to infectious diseases.
