| heterogeneity of macrophage activation in fish. | in this review, we focus on four different activation states of fish macrophages. in vitro, stimulation with microbial ligands induces the development of innate activated macrophages whereas classically activated macrophages can be induced by stimulation with lps in combination with (recombinant) ifnγ. both types of macrophages show elevated phagocytic activity, expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes and radical production. alternatively activated macrophages require the cytokines il-4/il ... | 2011 | 21414343 |

| larger inhibition of visual pigment kinase in cones than in rods. | in the carp retina, visual pigment kinase, grk1 (g-protein coupled receptor kinase 1) in rods and grk7 in cones, is inhibited by a photoreceptor neuronal ca(2+)-sensor protein, s-modulin (or recoverin) in rods and visinin (formerly named s26) in cones. here, we compared ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of grk1 by s-modulin and that of grk7 by visinin. first, the concentrations of s-modulin and visinin in the outer segment were estimated: the concentration of visinin (1.2 mm) was 20 times higher than ... | 2010 | 20649847 |
| functional analysis of carp interferon-gamma: evolutionary conservation of classical phagocyte activation. | in teleost fish two ifn-gamma gene sequences were found for which two phylogenetic clusters can be distinguished. our previous analysis of expression of these in carp led us to hypothesize that a classical ifn-gamma function is associated with the ifn-gamma2 cluster. we investigated the evolutionary conservation of the ifn-gamma function, inducing classical activation of phagocytes, thus skewing towards a th1-like profile of immune activation. recombinant proteins for the carp ifn-gamma sequence ... | 2010 | 20633651 |
