    Divergent patterns of selection on the DAB and DXB MHC class II loci in **phophorus fishes

    Two MHC class II loci, DAB (a classical class II locus) and DXB (putatively a non-classical class II locus), were sequenced in samples of individuals from two populations of swordtail fish, **phophorus multilinea...

    Alternative splicing of major histocompatibility complex class II DXB transcripts in **phophorus fishes

    Classical MHC class II glycoproteins present peptides to T cells. In **phophorus fishes and in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, a classical MHC class II B-like transcript has been identified, DAB, as well as a div...

    Diversity of the penaeidin antimicrobial peptides in two shrimp species

    Penaeidins, a unique family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with both proline and cysteine-rich domains, were initially identified in the hemolymph of the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Described h...

    Crustins, Homologues of an 11.5-kDa Antibacterial Peptide, from Two Species of Penaeid Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei and Litopenaeus setiferus

    The response of crustaceans to pathogens is believed to depend solely on innate, nonadaptive immune mechanisms, including phagocytosis, encapsulation, clotting, and a variety of soluble antimicrobial activitie...
