Intelectins are a recently identified group of animal lectins involved in innate immune surveillance. This paper describes the primary structure, expression and immunohistochemical localization of a rainbow trout plasma intelectin (RTInt). RTInt exhibited calcium-dependent binding to N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and mannose conjugated Toyopearl Amino 650M matrices. When GlcNAc eluates from chromatography matrices were analyzed by reducing 1 D PAGE and Western blots, the lectin appeared as similar to 37 kDa and similar to 7 2kDa bands. Similar analysis of plasma revealed a single 72 kDa band under reducing conditions. MALDI-TOF MS demonstrated five, similar to 37 kDa isoforms (p/ 5.3-6.1) separated by 2D-PAGE. A 975 bp cDNA sequence obtained by RT-PCR from Liver and spleen tissue encoded a 325 amino acid secretory protein with homology to human and murine intelectins, which bind bacterial components and are induced during parasitic infections. Gene expression and immunohistochemistry detected RTInt in gill, spleen, hepatic sinusoid, renal interstitium, intestine, skin, swim bladder and within leukocytes. Direct binding assays demonstrated the ability of RTInt to bind relevant bacterial. and chitinous targets. These findings suggest that RTInt plays a role in innate immune defense against bacterial and chitinous microbial organisms. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
