Ontogeny and tissue-specific expression of innate immune related genes in rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton)

Inductive expression of toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) and associated downstream signaling molecules following ligand exposure and bacterial infection in the Indian major carp, mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala)

“…The contribution of innate immune response in protecting the early developmental stages of fish has previously been reported in zebrafish [23] and in carps [24,25]. In mrigal, the expression of TLR5, and downstream TLR-signaling molecules (MyD88 and TRAF6) were detected in various embryonic developmental stages.…”

Molecular characterization of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), analysis of its inductive expression and associated down-stream signaling molecules following ligands exposure and bacterial infection in the Indian major carp, rohu (Labeo rohita)

“…Very recently, b-2 microglobulin, lysozyme, TLR-22 like gene, transferrin and NOD-2 gene expression was reported during ontogenesis in rohu (L. rohita) [41,35]. In addition to the previously reported defense factors, we hypothesized the critical role of TLR2 in innate immunity to protect fish eggs, hatchlings and larvae from pathogens.…”

cDNA cloning and expression characterization of serum transferrin gene from oriental weatherfish Misgurnus anguillicaudatus

“…Previous studies have reported that Stf played a role in the innate immune system (Ong et al , ; Nayak et al , ), and the differential regulations of stf expression with bacterial challenge were observed. In some species, Stf behaves as a positive acute phase protein.…”
