Analysis of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor gene expression in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) revealed an extraordinarily high IgM expression in the gut
Bilal, Sumaira; Lie, Kai Kristoffer; Dalum, Alf Seljenes; Karlsen, Odd Andre; Hordvik, Ivar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The serum IgM concentration of ballan wrasse is relatively high, estimated to approximately 13 mg/ml in adult wild fish of 800 g. The present study revealed an unusual high abundance of IgM mRNA in the gut of ballan wrasse. ... -
T cell receptor alpha chain genes in the teleost Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) are subjected to somatic hypermutation
Bilal, Sumaira; Lie, Kai Kristoffer; Sæle, Øystein; Hordvik, Ivar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-22)Previously, somatic hypermutation (SHM) was considered to be exclusively associated with affinity maturation of antibodies, although it also occurred in T cells under certain conditions. More recently, it has been shown ...
