The objective of this study was to locate the functional region responsible for the chemotaxis-inducing activity of flounder interleukin 8 (IL-8), which lacks the glutamic acid-leucine-arginine (ELR) motif essential for the induction of neutrophil...
We developed a long-term culture system for Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus leukocytes supported by JFF07-1 feeder cells established from Japanese flounder fin tissue. Kidney leukocytes were seeded onto a monolayer of the feeder cells in ...

In this study, we aimed to identify the leukocyte population that expresses Fas ligand (FasL) in the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). The transcriptional activity of FasL was examined for the first time in the fish leukocytes. Transcrip...
The role of leukocytes from the kidney of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in the encapsulation response was investigated using an in vitro model. The aggregation response of leukocytes to the target fish pathogen Ichthyophonus hoferi was ...
Mycobacterium marinum is a slow-growing, photochromogenic nontuberculous mycobacterium, which can cause mycobacteriosis in various animals, including humans. Several cases of fish mycobacteriosis have been reported to date. Mycobacterium marinum h...
Mycobacterium chelonae is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in various animals, including humans. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of M. chelonae subsp. bovis strain NJB1701, which was isolated from a Baikal s...

INTRODUCTION: Mycobacterium montefiorense is one of the causes of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections in moray eels and salamanders. Although M. montefiorense infection could be a threat to salamanders, little information is available regardi...
Mycobacterium marinum is a prevalent nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM)-infecting teleosts. Conversely, little is known about mycobacteriosis in elasmobranchs, and M. marinum infection has never been reported from the subclass. This study investig...

In 2019, several aquarium-reared fish died at a sea life park in Japan. Necropsy revealed micronodules on the spleen in the dotted gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus). Seven of 16 fish exhibited microscopic multifocal granulomas associated with aci...
