Identification and bioactivities of IFN-gamma in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: the first Th1-type cytokine characterized functionally in fish.
IFN-gamma is one of the key cytokines in defining Th1 immune responses. In this study, an IFN-gamma homologue has been identified in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, and its biological activities have been characterized. The trout IFN-gamma cDNA is 1034 bp in length and translates into a 180-aa protein. The first intron of the trout IFN-gamma gene contains highly polymorphic GACA minisatellit...
متن کاملDifferential expression, modulation and bioactivity of distinct fish IL-12 isoforms: implication towards the evolution of Th1-like immune responses.
IL-12 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of an α-chain (p35) and a β-chain (p40). Primarily produced by APCs, IL-12 induces IFN-γ production in T, B and NK cells. IL-12 drives Th1-cell differentiation and IFN-γ secretion to promote cell-mediated immunity, which is essential in the defence against intracellular pathogens. The importance of IL-12 in Th1 responses is echoed by its targeted suppr...
متن کاملBio-functions of carvacrol-supplemented feeds on lipopolysaccharide-induced rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792)
To investigate the effects of carvacrol supplementation diets in rainbow trout induced by LPS, we measured gene expressions relative to pro-inflammatory and apoptosis in kidney and liver. Fish, which that were studied by four different treatments with three replicates each, was 44.71±1.33 gr. All fish were infected with E. coli LPS (25 µg ml-1) expect control and only carvacrol containing diet ...
متن کاملBio-functions of carvacrol-supplemented feeds on lipopolysaccharide-induced rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792)
To investigate the effects of carvacrol supplementation in rainbow trout induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), relative gene expressions levels of some pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis markers in kidney and liver were measured. Fish with a mean weight of 44.71±1.33 g were studied using four different treatments with three replicates each. Inflammation and apoptosis were performed using L...
متن کاملThe effects of propolis on gill, liver, muscle tissues of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to various concentrations of cypermethrin
The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis for the toxicity of cypermethrin (CYP) on histopathological changes in tissues of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). CYP is one of the most toxic pyrethroids highly for the aquatic organisms. The fish were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of CYP (0.0041, 0.0082 and 0.0123 ppm). In addition, different concent...
