Genome-wide identification of the interferon complex establishes IFNf in Cypriniformes

Abstract excerpt

Type I interferons (IFNs) are pleiotropic cytokines widely recognized for their roles in the innate immunity of vertebrates, from fish to mammals. Previously, seven type I IFNs were identified in the order of Cypriniformes, the largest group of freshwater fish. Using whole genome analysis, we have identified the IFNf from this order, expanding the number of type I IFNs in this order to eight. IFNf exhibited...
