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 …

For most marine aquaculture species, one of the main bottlenecks is the stable production of
high quality juveniles. The high and unpredictable mortality in the first weeks after hatching …

The present study investigated the immunomodulatory activity of Ergosan, an algal extract
containing alginic acid, and Macrogard, a yeast extract containing β-glucans, on innate and …

In contrast to higher vertebrates, most fish species hatch at the embryonic stage of life.
Consequently, they have to defend against a variety of micro-organisms living in their …

Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii (AS13B), isolated from the gut of adult
Dicentrarchus labrax, was administered live to developing sea bass using rotifers and …

Vertebrate organisms have evolved sophisticated immunological mechanisms for the
recognition of self versus nonself. The immune system is functionally characterized by …

The study assesses the effects of dietary concentrated mannan oligosaccharides (cMOS) on
fish performance, biochemical composition, tissue fatty acid profiles, liver and posterior gut …

In this paper the cloning of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) from the fish Dicentrarchus labrax (sea
bass) is described. Using degenerate primers designed from known IL-1β sequences, a …

Despite the impressive increase in the cloning and expression of genes encoding fish
immunoregulatory molecules, the knowledge on “in vivo” and “in vitro” functional …

Vibrio anguillarum is the main causative agent of vibriosis in cultured sea bass.
Unfortunately, available vaccines against this disease do not achieve the desired protection …
