Gene Expression of Neuropeptides in the Blood Cells of the Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio
Several neuropeptides are reported to function in the immune system of teleost fish. Prolactin-releasing peptide-2 (PrRP2) is thought to be a local modulator of the innate immune response in leukocytes of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. We selected the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, as a model organism and examined PrRP2...
