Due to direct contact with aquatic environment, mucosal surfaces of teleost fish are
continuously exposed to a vast number of pathogens and also inhabited by high densities of …

Humoral immune responses at mucosal surfaces have historically focused on IgA. Growing
evidence highlights the complexity of IgA-inducing pathways and the functional impact of IgA …

Immunoglobulins (Igs) are complex glycoproteins that play critical functions in innate and
adaptive immunity of all jawed vertebrates. Given the unique characteristics of mucosal …

Aquaculture growth will unavoidably involve the implementation of innovative and
sustainable production strategies, being functional feeds among the most promising ones. A …

The gut microbiota plays an important role in host health and disease. Our understanding of
the fish microbiota lags far behind our knowledge of that of humans and other mammals …

Fish harbour complex and dynamic microbiota in their mucosal surfaces. Due to the vital role
of commensal microbiota in many biological functions including growth enhancement …

The paper presents the problem of intestinal mucosa immunity in teleost fish. The immunity
of the intestinal mucosa in teleost fish depends on the elements and mechanisms with …

The gastrointestinal immune system plays an important role in immune homeostasis
regulation. It regulates the symbiotic host-microbiome interactions by training and …

The momentous discovery of phagocytic activity in teleost B cells has caused a dramatic
paradigm shift from the belief that phagocytosis is performed mainly by professional …

Phagocytosis is a fundamental immune function against foreign microorganisms and
abnormal cells, and it is also a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity. Blood as the …
