Deep sequencing-based transcriptome profiling analysis of bacteria-challenged Lateolabrax japonicus reveals insight into the immune-relevant genes in marine fish
Study at a glance
- Design
- Animal / in-vitro — RNA-seq of head kidney/spleen from bacteria-challenged vs mock-challenged sea bass
- N
- Tissue RNA pooled from 15 fishes per preparation — no unpooled individual analytic N
- Population
- Lateolabrax japonicus (Japanese sea bass)
- Outcome
- Immune-related transcriptome after bacterial challenge
Structured fields used in claim comparison tables when every cited study has a complete layer.
What they did
RNA-seq of head kidney/spleen from bacteria- versus mock-challenged fish; assembled immune transcripts.
What they found
Large transcriptome with many immune effectors and pathway annotations (hepcidin, lysozyme, RAG).
The limits
What it doesn't show
Homology-based pathway calls; not a vaccine efficacy trial.
