In situ lymphocyte apoptosis in larval Xenopus laevis, the South African clawed toad.

Abstract:

:During Anuran metamorphosis larval structures regress, adult structures form anew and impaired T cell immune functions are noted, as are alterations in endogenous glucocorticoid titers. In situ histological data, after staining for DNA fragmentation, reveal patterns of lymphocyte suicide in the thymus and spleen of non-antigenically challenged, laboratory bred, developing larvae, that do not correlate with either impaired immune functions or plasma glucocorticoid titers. Apoptotic levels in the thymus are high in premetamorphic stages, low during prometamorphosis and high again, after metamorphic climax, reflecting a periodic removal of thymocytes. Lymphocytic apoptosis in the spleen is low during premetamorphosis, rises in prometamorphic stages, principally within the red pulp, reaching a peak at climax, before declining as metamorphosis is completed.

  • Overexpression of NF-κB inhibitor alpha in Cynoglossus semilaevis impairs pathogen-induced immune response.

    abstract::IκBα is a member of the NF-κB inhibitor family that inhibits NF-κB activity by sequestering NF-κB in an inactive form in the cytosol. Unlike mammalian IκBα, which has been extensively studied, very little is known about the function of fish IκBα. In this study, we identified and analyzed an IκBα homologue, CsIκBα from...
