The TNFR In Asterias rubens Sea Star: Genomic Studies

The sea star Asterias rubens includes TNFR, in its genome, when compared to mouse one: mouse isoform 2 of TNF AIP3-interacting protein 1, mouse TNF receptor-associated factor 2, mouse TNF receptor-associated factor 3, mouse TNF receptor-associated factor 4, mouse TNF receptor-associated factor 6. Many of these factors are bound to NF Kappa -B genes which have recently been isolated in the Aster...

Evidence of Irf4 Gene, Irf2, Irf8 Genes in an Invertebrate: The Sea Star Asterias rubens

IRF4 gene, IRF2 and IRF8 genes have been studied in sea star which is the only invertebrate, to possess these factors, playing a rôle in the immune adaptative immunity of A. rubens. Evidence of Irf4 Gene, Irf2, Irf8 Genes in an Invertebrate: The Sea Star Asterias rubens Michel Leclerc1* and Nicolas Kresdorn2 1Department of Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Immunology, University of Orléans, ...

Cell-mediated Immune Responses in the Sea-star Asterias Rubens (echinoderm)

Cell-mediated immune responses occur in sea star system. In Asterias rubens it is said that B sea star lymphocytes and T sea star lymphocytes exist in the axial organ which can be considered as an ancestral lymphoid organ. In the same manner the origin of lymphocytes can be found in Invertebrates such as Echinodermal.

Induced cell proliferation in putative haematopoietic tissues of the sea star, Asterias rubens (L.).

The coelomic fluid of the echinoderm Asterias rubens possesses large populations of circulating coelomocytes. This study aimed to expand the knowledge about the haematopoietic sources of these cells. Injection of the immune-stimulating molecules lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and concanavalin A (ConA) resulted in an increase in coelomocytes. To investigate if these molecules induce cell proliferation...
