Acute phase proteins (APPs) are highly conserved plasma proteins that are increasingly
secreted by the liver in response to a variety of injuries, independently of their location and …

The acute phase proteins are biochemically and functionally unrelated protein
predominantly synthesized in the liver. The local inflammatory cells ie macrophages and …

Products derived from Aloe vera are popular around the world because of their cosmetic and
medicinal properties, including immunostimulatory effects, and may have beneficial uses in …

Skin plays an important role in innate immune responses to bacterial infection, but its
molecular mechanism remains unclear in fish. The transcriptional profiling of the skin …

In contrast to other teleosts, Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has an expanded repertoire of
MHC-I and TLR components, but lacks the MHC-II, the invariant chain/CD74, and CD4+ T …

Pentraxins are fluid phase pattern recognition molecules that form an important part of the
innate immune defence and are conserved between fish and human. In Atlantic cod (Gadus …

Cryptocaryoniasis (also known as marine white spot disease) is mediated by Cryptocaryon
irritans. This obligate ectoparasitic protozoan infects virtually all marine teleosts, which …
