Primary B cell receptor (BCR)/antibody variable region exons are generated by V(D)J recombination with junctional diversification creating immensely diverse antigen contact-encoding CDR3s. While most
Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animal hosts, such as corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning however remains poorly understood. To identify putati
The experiment was designed to assess whether conventional and unconventional IEL differ in their response to activation. Total RNA from activated TCRαβ CD8αβ and TCRγδ CD8αα IEL stimulated with anti-
The depletion of gut mucosal barrier enables exposure of gut microbes/gut microbial products to the host mucosal immunity which may increase the risk of metabolic/inflammatory disorders. These immune
The gastrointestinal tract of mammals is inhabited by hundreds of distinct species of commensal microorganisms that exist in a mutualistic relationship with the host. The process by which the commensa
