Research Abstract |
We revealed chemotactic activity of two types of chemokines, IL-8 and CXCL13 in Japanese flounder. IL-8 and CXCL13 induced selectively the migration of neutrophils and B lymphocytes, respectively. We also produced specific antibodies to these chemokines and developed immunoassays to estimate the quantity of these chemokines. Flounder leukocytes showed various responses in their IL-8 production that induced by stimulation with several species of bacterial pathogens. We suggested that IL-8 production is relevant to diversity of immune response observed in infectious diseases of Japanese flounder.
