Mx expression in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) in response to poly I:C, bacterial LPS and chromosomal DNA: Preliminary study

摘要

Cells infected with a virus are stimulated to produce and secrete IFNs, which in turn induce a complex pattern of physiological changes. The IFNs provide vertebrates with a first line of defence against viral infection. Fish are known to produce molecules with IFN activity as measured by a cell protection test [1]. The induction of IFN-I includes dsRNA virus infection, LPS and some bacterial components [2] C. Ortega and R.
