SYNTHETIC ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES FAIL TO INDUCE LEUCOCYTE INNATE IMMUNE FUNCTIONS BUT ELICIT OPPOSING TRANSCRIPTOMIC PROFILES IN EUROPEAN SEA BASS AND GILTHEAD SEABREAM

Synthetic Antimicrobial Peptides Fail to Induce Leucocyte Innate Immune Functions but Elicit Opposing Transcriptomic Profiles in European Sea Bass and Gilthead Seabream

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising molecules in diverse fields, including aquaculture.AMPs possess lytic effects on a wide range of pathogens, resulting in a potential replacement for traditional antimicrobials in aquaculture.In addition, they also have modulatory effects on host immune responses.Thus, the objective of this work was to eva

Identification and metabolic characteristics of an apolipoprotein C-II variant isolated from a hypertriglyceridemic subject.

The very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoproteins from a Type IV hypertriglyceridemic Caucasian subject (plasma TG: 645 mg/dl) and his brother (plasma TG: 328 mg/dl) were separated by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis (IEF) and found to contain two isoforms of apoC-II, identified by immunoblot.These corresponded to normal apoC-II-1 (is
