CD59, the major inhibitor of membrane attack complex, plays a crucial role in regulation of complement activation. In this paper, a CD59 gene of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (designated as On-CD59) was cloned and ...
NK-lysin, an effector of cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells, is a potent antimicrobial peptide widely distributed in mammals. Homologues of NK-lysin have been discovered in several teleost species, but only sever...
Interaction of CD28 with CD80 or CD86 molecules provides a costimulatory signals required in T cell activation. In this study, we cloned and analyzed a CD28 gene (On-CD28) and a CD80/86 gene (On-CD80/86) from Nile tilapi...

Four weeks feeding trial was conducted to assess the in vivo probiotic potentials of three host-associated Bacillus species in O. niloticus. The fish were divided into five treatment groups and fed with diets containing ...
Herbal supplements are suitable for improving fish health and combating diseases in fish culture. However, the mechanism of action of many herbal mixtures remains unclear. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects...
Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 3(TRAF3) is a key regulator in TNFR and Toll-like receptor (TLRs)/RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) signal pathway. Here, a TRAF3 gene (Ls-TRAF3, GenBank Accession No: Kj...
The effects of short term starvation and re-feeding to satiation on compensatory growth performance, haematological parameters, biochemical parameters, and immune responses were investigated in Oreochromis niloticus of a...

Lower vertebrates like fish mostly depend on innate immunity as the first line of defence against invading pathogens. One of the defence mechanisms in innate immunity for fish is the use of phagocytic cells such as monoc...
Galectin-8 is a member of the galectin family that is involved in immune response against pathogens. However, the roles of fish galectin-8 during pathogen infection require comprehensive studies. In this study, a galecti...
Galectin-9 is a < beta > -galactoside-binding lectin which could modulate a variety of biological functions including recognition, aggregation and clearance of pathogen. In this study, a galectin-9 homologue (OnGal-9) wa...
Vibrio alginolyticus is an opportunistic and halophilic Gram-negative pathogen in limiting the development of aquatic industry and affecting human health. SODs are oxidative enzymes that play a critical role in oxidative...
