PlCXCL12a differentially modulates SGIV and RGNNV replication during single and co-infection and regulates chemotaxis-associated immune responses.
Chemokines play important roles in coordinating innate immune defense in teleost fish. In this study, a CXCL12a homolog, designated PlCXCL12a, was cloned and characterized from leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus). PlCXCL12a encodes a conserved CXC chemokine containing a typical SCY domain and showed high seq...
