Gene expression profiles of some immune relevant genes from skin of susceptible and responding Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) infected with Gyrodactylus salaris (Monogenea) revealed by suppressive subtractive hybridisation.

Abstract excerpt

Suppressive subtractive hybridisation was used to examine the genetic basis of susceptibility and resistance of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to Gyrodactylus salaris infection. Selected immune relevant genes are listed and two genes, for myeloid leukemia differentiation protein (Mcl-1) and opioid growth factor receptor (OGFr), obtained from the susceptible salmon library were characterised. Both sequences...
