Regulatory effect of Bacillus subtilis on cytokines of dendritic cells in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Bacillus subtilis is a usual group of probiotics that have been widely used in the feed industry, it can increase host resistance to pathogens and balance the immune responses. But the regulatory mechanism of Bacillus subtilis on the host immune system remains unclear in teleost. In this data, we collected Bacillus subtilis stimulated grass carp DCs at 0, 4, and 18 h, constructed and sequenced transcriptomic libraries respectively. This study provides a DCs-specific transcriptome data in grass carp by Bacillus subtilis stimulation, allowing us to illustrate the molecular mechanism of DCs-mediated immune response triggered by probiotics in grass carp.
