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 vertebrate immune system is comprised of numerous distinct and interdependent
components. Every component has its own inherent protective value, and the final …

In the present chapter, we provide an in-depth review of knowledge related to the intestinal
mucosal immune compartment of fish. The anatomical and physiological makeup is …

The purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with a general overview of the fish immune
system, including commonalities and particularities in comparison with higher vertebrate …

During recent years considerable study has been made of the systemic immune system of
fish, although less attention has been paid to local immunity at sites such as the gut …

The immune system of fish consists of two main components, innate and adaptive
immunities. Innate immunity is non-specific and acts as the primary line of protection against …

The field of mucosal immunology research has grown fast over the past few years, and our
understanding on how mucosal surfaces respond to complex antigenic cocktails is …

Teleost fish possess an adaptive immune system associated with each of their mucosal
body surfaces. Evidence obtained from mucosal vaccination and mucosal infection studies …

As physical barriers that separate teleost fish from the external environment, mucosae are
also active immunological sites that protect them against exposure to microbes and …

This review describes the extant knowledge on the teleostean mucosal adaptive immune
mechanisms, which is relevant for the development of oral or mucosal vaccines. In the last …
