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 ...
Non-specific cytotoxic cells (NCC) are important cytotoxic leukocytes in teleost immune system. However, the NCC subsets have not been clarified. Thus, we create a comprehensive cell map of similar to 24,062 head kidney-...
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...
CD2BP2 (CD2 cytoplasmic tail binding protein 2), one of several proteins interacting with the cytoplasmic tail of CD2, plays a crucial role in CD2-triggered T cell activation and nuclear splicing. The studies on CD2BP2 h...

A new marine-fish cell line, designated GPS, was established from the snout tissue of golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus. GPS cells multiplied well in Leibovitz's L-15 containing 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS) at 28 degree...
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...
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...
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...
Golden pompano is a commercially important marine fish that is widely cultured in China, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries but has been seriously threatened by pathogen. A novel cell line (TOGB) derived from the brain...
Nocardia seriolae, a Gram-positive pathogen, has been identified as the causative agent of fish nocardiosis. DNA vaccination has been proven to be effective in conferring protection against bacterial infection in fish. T...

A 56-day feeding trial was performed to evaluate the effect of herbal-probiotic supplements comprising a mixture of Chinese herbs (CH) (i.e., Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica sinensis, and Crataegus hupehensis) and or c...
Lysozyme acts as an innate immunity molecule against pathogen infection. In this study, a new G-type lysozyme gene with a typical G-type lysozyme domain (designated as Ec-lysG) was cloned and characterized from the orang...
Type III secretion system (T3SS) in Vibrio alginolyticus is essential for its pathogenesis. VscO's homologous proteins FliJ, InvI and YscO have been suggested to be putative chaperone escorts although its function in V. ...
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...

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...
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 use of antibiotics and therapeutics for Nile tilapia has increased along with its increased production and intensification. Probiotics have been studied as an alternative to the excessive use of antibiotics in fish d...
The effects of starvation and re -feeding on Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) remain incompletely understood so far. In this study, the changes of intestinal microbiota, the metabolic and immune (antioxidant) respo...
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...
Nocardia seriolae is a pathogen that causes nocardiosis in marine and freshwater fish. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of N. seriolae strain ZJ0503, which was isolated from Trachinotus ovatus in Guangdong, Chin...
Fish nocardiosis is a chronic granulomatous bacterial disease mainly caused by three pathogenic bacteria, including Nocardia seriolae, N. asteroids and N. salmonicida. Molecular chaperone DnaK and GroEL were identified t...
