Mucosal immunoglobulins at respiratory surfaces mark an ancient association that predates the emergence of tetrapods
In teleost fish the gills perform—in addition to respiration—functions such as immune defence. Here the authors show that IgT, a teleost specific Ig previously shown to be involved in gut and skin mucosal immunity, is locally induced in the gill, where it plays a key role in immunity in rainbow trou...

Here the authors show that IgT, a teleost specific Ig previously shown to be involved in gut and skin mucosal immunity, is locally induced in the gill, where it plays a key role in immunity in rainbow trout. |
