Mucosal immunoglobulins protect the olfactory organ of teleost fish against parasitic infection
2018-07-30
Abstract excerpt
The olfactory organ of vertebrates receives chemical cues present in the air or water and, at the same time, they are exposed to invading pathogens. Nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT), which serves as a mucosal inductive site for humoral immune responses against antigen stimulation, is present in teleosts and mammals. IgT in teleosts is responsible for similar functions to those carried by IgA in mammals. Mor...
