Systematic Identification of Host Immune Key Factors Influencing Viral Infection in PBL of ALV-J Infected SPF Chicken

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Although research related to avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) has lasted for more than a century, the systematic identification of host immune key factors against ALV-J infection has not been reported.

Intratumoral bacteria engineered for tumor therapy

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2026.
This article comprehensively reviews engineered intratumoral bacteria used in tumor therapy. The concept development, characteristics, and engineering methods of intratumoral bacteria are summarized. The mechanisms and the translational significance by which engineered intratumoral bacteria interfere with tumor progression are discussed and highlighted.

Chicken NK-lysin is an alpha-helical cationic peptide that exerts its antibacterial activity through damage of bacterial cell membranes

open access: yes, 2014
The antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are important elements of the first line of defense against pathogens in animals, and an important constituent of innate immunity. Antimicrobial peptides act on a broad spectrum of microbial organisms.

Characterization of rag1 mutant zebrafish leukocytes

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2009
Background Zebrafish may prove to be one of the best vertebrate models for innate immunology. These fish have sophisticated immune components, yet rely heavily on innate immune mechanisms. Thus, the development and characterization of mutant and/or knock

Combined Schizochytrium and Canola Oil Effectively Replaces Fish Oil in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Under Chronic Thermal Stress

open access: yesAquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study evaluated the replacement of fish oil (FO) with Schizochytrium oil (SCZO) and canola oil (CNO) in diets of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) under chronic high‐temperature conditions. Six diets replaced FO at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% (S0–S100) with SCZO and CNO at a constant replacement ratio of 27.1:72.9 (w/w), while maintaining ...

NK-lysin, a Disulfide-containing Effector Peptide of T-lymphocytes, Is Reduced and Inactivated by Human Thioredoxin Reductase

open access: yes, 1996
The cytotoxic and antibacterial polypeptide NK-lysin has a molecular mass of approximately 9 kDa and contains three disulfide bonds. The activity was highly dependent on intact disulfides, because the bactericidal effect on Escherichia coli and the ...

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3444-3455, December 2025.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Molecular cloning and characterization of chicken NK-lysin

open access: yes, 2020
NK-lysin is an anti-microbial and anti-tumor protein expressed by NK cells and T lymphocytes. In a previous report, we identified a set of overlapping expressed sequence tags constituting a contiguous sequence (contig 171) homologous to mammalian NK ...
