Convergent Evolution of Mucosal Immune Responses at the Buccal Cavity of Teleost Fish

Convergent Evolution of Mucosal Immune Responses at the Buccal Cavity of Teleost Fish

Summary: The buccal mucosa (BM) is a critical first line of defense in terrestrial animals. To gain further insights into the evolutionary origins and primordial roles of BM in teleosts here we show that rainbow trout, a teleost fish, contains a diffuse mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) with...
