Characterisation of IL-21 and IL-21Rα in grass carp: IL-21-producing cells are upregulated during Flavobacterium columnare infection
Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is produced mainly by activated CD4+ T cells and promotes the proliferation, survival and differentiation of immune cells. This study characterised a high affinity binding receptor of IL-21 (IL-21 Rα) from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella, Ci) and analyzed the expression of...
