Molecular cloning and sequencing of the banded dogfish ( ) interleukin-8 cDNA

The innate immune response of finfish – A review of current knowledge

“…Despite this, chemokines have been identified in rainbow trout [319e321], carp [322], catfish [323], flounder [324], banded dogfish (Triakis scyllia) [325] and Atlantic halibut [326].…”

Cloning and expression analysis of three striped trumpeter (Latris lineata) pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8, in response to infection by the ectoparasitic, Chondracanthus goldsmidi

“…IL-8 was first characterised within the lamprey [40], a fish that belongs to the most primitive vertebrate group, the agnathans. More recently, it has been discovered in the cartilaginous banded dogfish [41] and silver chimaera [42] as well as a number of teleosts [27,[43][44][45]. Until recently, all known fish IL-8 sequences lacked the ELR motif typical of mammalian IL-8 [41,42,44], however, both the haddock [27] and cod IL-8 (CAD59734) sequences have now been shown to possess this motif.…”

The biological effects of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recombinant interleukin-8

“…In fish IL-8-like molecules have recently been cloned in a number of species [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Some authors have named this molecule CXCa due to the relatively low homology to mammalian genes (30-40% amino acid identity).…”
