The study shows that two novel E. ictaluri live attenuated vaccines can induce elevated expression of T and B cell-specific genes in channel catfish, activating immune responses and providing protection against disease.
We extend the previous findings on the differential activity of immune-related genes in the lymphoid organs of channel catfish in the 7 days post-challenge (dpc) with E. ictaluri live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) and wild type (WT) strains by assessing the expression of these genes in the 21 dpc. The expression of T and B cell-specific genes were significantly elevated in the spleen at 14 dpc and in the AK at 21 dpc in catfish treated with E. ictaluri WT and LAV strains compared to a non-treated control group. The gene expression of IFN-gamma correlated with adaptive immunity genes in the lymphoid tissues of catfish. These data indicate that two novel LAVs were able to trigger the activation of T helperl polarization cytokine IFN-gamma gene and specific lymphocyte genes in the spleen followed by their activation in the AK of catfish without causing inflammation, thus providing protective immunity in E. ictaluri infection.
