Transcription expression of gene encoding cathelicidin <i> CATHL4</i> in Vietnam indigenous yellow cattle

Cathelicidins, a family of host-defence peptides, are present in diverse range species, including fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The evidence for the role these cationic antimicrobial peptides innate host defenses is convincing from data animal model transgenic experiments as well wildlife or domestic animals, indicating that protect against inflammatory immune system after induction by bacterial infection. In this study, we assessment transcription expression CATHL4 gene which encodes indolicidin, cathelicidin indigenous yellow cattle Vietnam. research focused on RNA samples extracted lung tissues lymph node collected diseased died infectious respiratory symptoms healthy were slaughtered food purposes. By quantitative real-time PCR, relative transcripts was determined analyzed using YWHAZ reference. results showed abundantly expressed at higher level than those ones. both infection states, nodes tissues. This indicated (indolicidin) may participate functions pathogens.
