Interferon type I and type II responses in an Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) SHK-1 cell line by the salmon TRAITS/SGP microarray

Abstract excerpt

Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines that have proinflammatory, antiviral, and immunomodulatory effects and play a central role during a host response to pathogens. The IFN family contains both type I and type II molecules. While there are a number of type I IFNs, there is only one type II IFN. Recently both type I and type II IFN genes have been cloned in salmonid fish and recombinant proteins produced showing IFN...
