Outline of Final Research Achievements

To gain a better understanding of the interaction between endocrine and immune systems in fish, we examined whether some neuropeptide hormones, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corticotropin-releasing peptide (CRH) and prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP), exist in the immune organs of several teleost fishes by molecular biological technique and immunocytochemistry. These neuropeptides were detected in the immune organs (blood cells, kidney, and spleen) of teleost fishes such as rainbow trout, goldfish, common carp, Japanese eel, tiger puffer, and Japanese flounder. These results suggest that the interaction exists between endocrine and immune systems in teleost fish.
