This brief review is intended to provide a concise overview of the current literature
concerning T cells, advances in identifying distinct T cell functional subsets, and in …

This chapter describes the immune responses that are elicited by vaccination of fish and that
are key to providing protection against future encounter with these same pathogens. The …

Alternative splicing is an important mechanism of gene expression control that also
produces a large proteome from a limited number of genes. In the immune system of …

The catfish industry is the largest sector of US aquaculture production. Given its role in food
production, the catfish immune response to industry-relevant pathogens has been …

CD45 isoforms have been identified in a variety of different species and mab against various
isoforms have been instrumental to define cellular subsets. In the process of generating …

T cell activation is a complicated process accompanying with the activation of T cell receptor
(TCR) signaling pathway, which is not well described in teleost fish. The initiation of this …

Leukocyte immune-type receptors (LITRs) are a multigene family of teleost
immunoregulatory proteins that share structural, phylogenetic, and likely functional …

The CD45 tyrosine phosphatase plays an important role in regulating T lymphocyte
activation in vertebrate species. In this study we describe some molecular and functional …

Desmoglein 3 is a transmembrane component of desmosome complexes that mediate
epidermal cell-to-cell adhesion and tissue integrity. Antibody blockade of desmoglein 3 …

Originally discovered in the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus leukocyte immune-type
receptors (IpLITRs) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) and several of …
