Two interferon gamma (IFN-γ) genes are expressed in immune cells of teleost fish and are
potentially implicated in B-and T-lymphocyte responses. IFN-γ-2 shows structural and …

In teleost fish two IFN-γ gene sequences were found for which two phylogenetic clusters can
be distinguished. Our previous analysis of expression of these in carp led us to hypothesize …

The type I interferon (I-IFN) gene has recently been cloned and sequenced in the common
carp species Cyprinus carpio L. Carp I-IFN cDNA is composed of 675 base pairs and is …

Multiple species of type I interferon (IFN) were recently identified in catfish (CF)(Ictalurus
punctatus). Herein we extend these studies and report the existence of two distinct type II …

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), the only member of the type II class of interferons, has been
identified in teleost fish. In addition to the IFN-γ gene, fish possess an IFN-γ related gene …

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) has important roles in both innate and adaptive immune
responses. In this study, the cDNA and genomic sequences of Atlantic cod IFN-γ were …

We report on the characterization and functional analysis of IFNγ of the goldfish. Quantitative
analysis indicated the highest expression of goldfish IFNγ in the spleen, with lower …

Despite considerable advances in our understanding of teleost immunity, relatively few
cytokine genes, including those for interferon (IFN), have been identified at the molecular …

Abstract Interferon-gamma (IFN-ϒ) is probably one of the most relevant cytokines
orchestrating the immune response in vertebrates. Although the activities mediated by this …

The genes encoding the type I and type II interferons (IFNs) have previously been identified
in rainbow trout and their proteins partially characterized. These previous studies reported a …
