Abstract:
This review will discuss some of the recent advances in discovering immune genes in fish, in terms of their relevance to vaccine design and development. Particular emphasis will be placed on the many cytokine and costimulatory molecules now known, with examples drawn from the mammalian literature as to their potential value for fish vaccinology. A new area of vaccine research will also be touched upon, where efficacious responses are elicited by inhibiting the natural negative regulators of immune responses, such as Treg cell products and SOCS proteins.
