Development of imaging-based techniques to examine signalling properties of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) leukocyte immune-type receptors (IpLITRs)
DownloadSpring 2017
Cells of the innate immune system have the ability to rapidly detect and eliminate pathogens using surface-expressed immunoregulatory receptors that translate extracellular binding into effector functions such as degranulation, cytokine secretion, cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and phagocytosis....

In response to pathogens, immune cells induce protective effector functions, such as degranulation, phagocytosis and cytokine secretion, which are initiated by stimulatory or inhibitory immunoregulatory receptors expressed on leukocytes. Using a fish immunological model system, the focus of my...

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Leukocyte Immune-Type Receptor (DrLITR) Variable Control of the Phagocytic Response
DownloadSpring 2023
To combat microbial invaders, immune cells elicit a range of potent antimicrobial effector responses coordinated by complex intracellular signalling events. These events are initiated by the engagement of cell surface-expressed proteins, termed immunoregulatory receptors, that bind to and...
