Title: High sequence variability of myticin transcripts in hemocytes of immune-stimulated mussels suggests ancient host-pathogen interactions
Keywords: Mytilus
Myticin
Mussel
Antimicrobial
Publisher: Elsevier
Description: Small cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPS) are host defense molecules detected in virtually all gropus of organisms. To investigate the immuine response mechanisms of Mytilus galloprovincialis, primary and suppresion subtractive hybridization libraries were prepared from hemolymph of mussels injected with heat-inactivated bacteria or ply l:C, the latter mimicking viral infection. After DNA sequencing, sequence processing and similarity searching, a remarkable abundance of AMP mRNAS were identified.
