Teleosts rely on innate immunity to protect themselves from pathogens. Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and its cognate receptor CSF-1R control survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of macrophages. Recently, a novel soluble form of CSF-1R (sCSF-1R) was identified in goldfish....

Examination of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) leukocyte immune-type receptor-mediated crosstalk regulation of phagocytosis

Across vertebrates, innate immune cells are capable of initiating a range of potent effector responses that are designed to destroy or contain foreign microbial invaders. The execution and regulation of various innate cellular responses is mediated by a dedicated repertoire of cell...

Innate Immunity and the Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Gene Therapy for Inherited Retinal Disorders
DownloadFall 2021
Background: The photoreceptors are post-mitotic (no longer dividing), so the eye has evolved several unique immunological mechanisms to protect the photoreceptors and prevent vision loss. Inherited retinal disorders occur when mutations disrupt normal retinal function and photoreceptors die....

Visual pigment composition in zebrafish: Evidence for a rhodopsin-porphyropsin interchange system

Temple, S. E., Allison, W. T., Haimberger, T. J., Hawryshyn, C. W.
Abstract: Numerous reports have concluded that zebrafish (Danio rerio) possesses A(1)-based visual pigments in their rod and cone photoreceptors. In the present study, we investigated the possibility that zebrafish have a paired visual pigment system. We measured the spectral absorption...
