| Research Abstract |
In this project, two fugu mucosal chemokines were identified, One of them was expressed in the skin, gills and thymus of fugu In the skin, in situ hybridization revealed that the fugu epidermal cells expressed this chemokine. This expression pattern was consistent with the localization of the skin leukocytes. A putative receptor for this chemokine was expressed in the same organs. The second mucosal chemokine and its putative receptor were expressed in the skin, gills, thymus, and intestine of fugu. These mucosal chemokines would play pivotal roles in the fish mucosal skin immune system.
