Functional Characterization of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Chemokine 2 (CK-2)

Molecular and Functional Characterization of IL-15 in Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: A Potent Inducer of IFN- Expression in Spleen Leukocytes

Differences in metabolic response to Loma salmonae infection in juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis.

Routine and post-exercise metabolic rates were measured for juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis infected with the microsporidium gill parasite Loma salmonae under laboratory conditions. Rainbow trout increased routine and post-exercise metabolic rate in response to infection compared with controls. Brook trout, on the other hand, lowered routine meta...

Effect of Chilling on Microbiological, Biochemical and Sensory Attributes of Whole Aquacultured Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792)

Several species of fresh water fish including common carp (Cyprinus carpio), rohu (Labeo rohita), mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are being farmed in India in order to meet the increasing demand for fresh fish. Among the fresh water fishes, rainbow trout is farmed in many parts of India. Worldwide, farmed trout production is increasing. The demand for trout in...

Functional characterization of a BCL10 isoform in the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

The complexes formed by BCL10, MALT1 and members of the family of CARMA proteins have recently been the focus of much attention because they represent a key mechanism for regulating activation of the transcription factor NF-κB. Here, we report the functional characterization of a novel isoform of BCL10 in the trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, which we named tBCL10. tBCL10 dimerizes, binds to component...

Cloning of two chemokine receptor homologs (CXC-R4 and CC-R7) in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Two rainbow trout chemokine receptors have been sequenced, with homology to CXC-R4 and CC-R7 molecules. The CXC-R4 sequence consisted of 1681 nucleotides, which translated into a mature protein of 357 amino acids, with 80.7% similarity to human CXC-R4. The CC-R7 sequence consisted of 2287 nucleotides, which translated into a 368-amino acid mature protein with 64.5% similarity to human CC-R7. Bo...
