Lysozyme: an important defence molecule of fish innate immune system
Abstract
The innate immune system of fish is considered to be the first line of defence against a broad spectrum of pathogens and is more important for fish as compared with mammals. Lysozyme level or activity is an important index of innate immunity of fish and is ubiquitous in its distribution among living organisms. It is well documented that fish lysozyme possess lytic activity against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. It is also known to be opsonic in nature and activates the complement system and phagocytes. It is present in mucus, lymphoid tissue, plasma and other body fluids of freshwater and marine fish. It is also expressed in a wide variety of tissues. Lysozyme activity has been shown to vary depending on the sex, age and size, season, water temperature, pH, toxicants, infections and degree of stressors. Here, we review our current understanding of different types of lysozyme and their expression and its role in fish innate immune system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
