Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 22 (TLR22) plays a crucial role in response to virus infection by recognizing double stranded RNA (dsRNA) in aquatic animals. In the present study, a TLR22 homologue gene was identified and characterized from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) (CiTLR22). CiTLR22 genomic sequence comprises 4754 base pairs (bp), containing one intron. The cDNA sequence consists of 3831bp, encoding a protein of...
