Rag1−/− Mutant Zebrafish Demonstrate Specific Protection following Bacterial Re-Exposure
BACKGROUND Recombination activation gene 1 deficient (rag1(-/-)) mutant zebrafish have a reduced lymphocyte-like cell population that lacks functional B and T lymphocytes of the acquired immune system, but includes Natural Killer (NK)-like cells and Non-specific cytotoxic cells (NCC) of the innate immune system. The innate immune system is thought to lack the adaptive characteristics of an acqu...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Weak Allele of Zebrafish cloche Mutant
Hematopoiesis is a complicated and dynamic process about which the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Danio rerio (zebrafish) is an excellent vertebrate system for studying hematopoiesis and developmental mechanisms. In the previous study, we isolated and identified a cloche(172) (clo(172)) mutant, a novel allele compared to the original cloche (clo) mutant, through using complement...
متن کاملHistological Characterization of the Dicer1 Mutant Zebrafish Retina
DICER1, a multidomain RNase III endoribonuclease, plays a critical role in microRNA (miRNA) and RNA-interference (RNAi) functional pathways. Loss of Dicer1 affects different developmental processes. Dicer1 is essential for retinal development and maintenance. DICER1 was recently shown to have another function of silencing the toxicity of Alu RNAs in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, which...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression following TLR stimulation in rag1-/- mutant zebrafish tissues and morphological descriptions of lymphocyte-like cell populations
In the absence of lymphocytes, rag1-/- mutant zebrafish develop protective immunity to bacteria. In mammals, induction of protection by innate immunity can be mediated by macrophages or natural killer (NK) cells. To elucidate potential responsive cell populations, we morphologically characterized lymphocyte-like cells (LLCs) from liver, spleen and kidney hematopoietic tissues. In fish, these ce...
متن کاملZebrafish genetics: Mutant cornucopia
The initial characterization of mutations from the large-scale mutagenesis of the zebrafish genome has been reported. What new insights will we gain about vertebrate development from these studies?
