Molecular characteristics of an immobilization antigen gene of the fish-parasitic protozoanIchthyophthirius multifiliisstrain ARS-6

Aquaculture Research, 2009
AbstractIchthyophthirius multi¢liis(Ich), a ciliated protozoanparasite of ¢sh, expresses surface antigens (i-anti-gens), which react with host antibodies that renderthemimmobile.Thenucleotidesequenceofani-anti-gen gene of I. multi¢liis strain ARS-6 was deduced.The predicted protein of 47493Da is comprised of460 amino acids (aa’s) arranged into ¢ve ...

A mouse protozoan boosts antigen-specific mucosal IgA responses in a specific lipid metabolism- and signaling-dependent manner

Nature Communications
IgA antibodies play an important role in mucosal immunity. However, there is still no effective way to consistently boost mucosal IgA responses, and the factors influencing these responses are not fully understood. We observed that colonization with the murine intestinal symbiotic protozoan Tritrichomonas musculis (T.mu) boosted antigen-specific ...
