Discovery of immunoglobulin T in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): A potential molecular marker to understand mucosal immunity in this species

J Velázquez, J Acosta, JM Lugo, E Reyes… - Developmental & …, 2018 - Elsevier
Immunoglobulin molecules play an important role in the immune defense system in all
jawed vertebrates, by protecting the organism from a wide variety of pathogens. Nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) is extensively cultivated worldwide, with a strong established market
demand. It constitutes one of the model species for the study of fish immunology and its
genome is currently fully sequenced. The presence of the immunoglobulin M gene in this
species is well documented, as well as its major role in systemic immunity. To date, the IgT …
