• Optimizing intensive culture protocols for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae 

      Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Swain, Trilochan; Tveiten, Helge; Hansen, Øyvind J; Mortensen, Atle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-22)
      Larval cod require live prey as food, and prey concentration (PC) and feeding frequency (FF) often afect their growth and survival. Apart from this, water exchange rates/water fow (WER/WF) and water current (WC) also afect the prey resident time in the tank and larval/early juvenile behaviour, respectively. High water current is also known to induce stress in fnfsh larvae, and this stress response ...
    • Overexpression of T-bet, GATA-3 and TGF-ß induces IFN-γ, IL-4/13A, and IL-17A expression in Atlantic salmon 

      Slettjord, Tiril Hoffstrøm; Sekkenes, Hege J.; Chi, Heng; Bøgwald, Jarl; Swain, Trilochan; Dalmo, Roy Ambli; Swain, Jaya Kumari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-20)
      The overexpression of <i>GATA-3, T-bet</i> and <i>TGF-ß</i> may theoretically induce <i>IL-4/A, IFN-γ</i> and <i>IL-17A</i> expression, respectively. Whether this also applies to fish is not yet known. The plasmid vectors encoding reporter gene (RFP)-tagged <i>T-bet, GATA-3</i> and <i>TGF-ß</i> were used as overexpression tools, transfected into cells or injected intramuscularly to monitor the ...
    • Transcription factor T-bet in Atlantic salmon: characterization and gene expression in mucosal tissues during Aeromonas salmonicida infection

      The T-box transcription factor T-bet is expressed in a number of hematopoietic cell types in mammals and plays an essential role in the lineage determination of Th1 T-helper cells and is considered as an essential feature for both innate and adaptive immune responses in higher vertebrates. In the present study, we have identified and characterized the full-length Atlantic salmon T-bet cDNA (3502 ...
