They have been studied widely in several fishes, but little is known about these defence factors in Atlantic cod, which is thought to have a less sophisticated adaptive immune system compared to other teleosts. The aim of the present study was to screen for potential AMPs in various tissues of Atlantic cod and to examine their spectra of activity. Acidic crude extracts were prepared from thirteen tissues (i.e. mucus, gills, skin, intestine, rectum, head kidney, spleen, blood, gall bladder, liver, ovary, muscle and peritoneal wall). Following partial purification by solid-phase extraction, 78 fractions were obtained and these were assayed for antimicrobial activity using a two-layer radial diffusion assay. Some of the fractions prepared from several tissues examined had potent activity against the test bacteria. In general, acetonitrile rich fractions displayed higher antibacterial activity than the aqueous ones. The most potent fractions were obtained from the gall bladder and they exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against 8 of the 9 test bacteria, including the cod pathogen Vibrio anguillarum. Antibacterial activity was completely eliminated or reduced upon treatment with proteinase K in most fractions. Protein profiles obtained by SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed that antimicrobial activity of the partially purified tissue extracts might be due to cationic, low molecular weight peptides | Descripción: | 8 pages, 3 figures, 3 tables | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fsi.2010.02.006 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/346718 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.fsi.2010.02.006 | ISSN: | 1050-4648 |
