A multi-CRD C-type lectin gene Cnlec-1 enhance the immunity response in noble scallop Chlamys nobilis with higher carotenoids contents through up-regulating under different immunostimulants

Publication date: Available online 6 September 2018Source: Fish & Shellfish ImmunologyAuthor(s): Yeqing Lu, Hongkuan Zhang, Dewei Cheng, Hongxing Liu, Shengkang Li, Hongyu Ma, Huaiping ZhengAbstractC-type lectins have a variety of immunological functions in invertebrates. In order to investigate whether C-type lectin gene and carotenoids do have immune influences on noble scallop Chlamys nobilis under pathogen stress, acute challenges lasting 48 h to Vibrio parahaemolyticus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (Poly I: C), and PBS were conducted in noble scallop with different carotenoids content. A multi-CRD C-type lectin gene called Cnlec-1 was cloned and its transcripts under different challenges were determined. Full length cDNA of Cnlec-1 is 2267 bp with an ope...
