In aquaculture, commercial fish such as red hybrid tilapia are usually raised at high density to boost the production within a short period of time. This overcrowded environment, however, may cause stress cultured and increase susceptibility infectious diseases. Antibiotics chemotherapeutics used by farmers overcome these challenges, but this cost. Studies have reported on potential mushroom po...

conclusions to date, a large number of viruses are proved to trigger innate immunity via tlrs, suggesting that these receptors are likely to be important in the outcome of viral infection. this suggestion is supported by the observation that many viruses have evolved mechanisms not only to evade the innate immune system, but also to subvert it for the benefit of the virus. materials and methods...

Article history: Received 21 June 2016 Accepted 21 June 2016 Available online 23 June 2016 (Akira et al., 2006). Innate immunity relies on the binding of PAMPs to receptors on immune cells and to serum proteins, such as mannosebinding lectin (Akira et al., 2006; Ip et al., 2009). Cartwright et al. developed an ELISA using an engineered immunoglobulin domain fused to domains of mannose-binding l...

Internalization and degradation of live Bb within phagosomal compartments of monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), allows for the release of lipoproteins, nucleic acids and other microbial products, triggering a broad and robust inflammatory response. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key players in the recognition of spirochetal ligands from whole viable organisms (i.e., vita-PAMPs). ...

4 cell receptor (BCR) triggering and T cell help induced initial B cell proliferation but were not sufficient to sustain prolonged survival and accumulation of B cells. Extensive proliferation, isotypic switch and differentiation to Ig-secreting cells were promoted by microbial agents acting on TLRs expressed by naïve B cells upon BCR stimulation. This finding demonstrates that humoral immune r...

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is key regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. TLR4 recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and activates the inflammatory cells. The function of TLR4 in atherosclerosis has been investigated in mouse knockout studies and epidemiological studies of human TLR4 polymorphisms. These studies have shown that TLR4 function affects the ini...

Inflammasomes are cytosolic, multiprotein complexes assembled by members of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) and PYHIN protein families in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and danger signals, and serve as activation platforms for caspase-1. Recently, a new noncanonical inflammasome pathway has been described that activates caspase-11, an understudied pro-inflammatory caspas...
