In vitro effects of bovine lactoferrin, mushroom glucan and Abrus agglutinin on Indian major carp, catla (Catla catla) head kidney leukocytes

Dietary supplementation with Cynodon dactylon (L.) enhances innate immunity and disease resistance of Indian major carp, Catla catla (Ham.)

“…This result was supported by enhancement of superoxide anion in L. rohita fed with 0.5% A. aspera seed mixed diet feeding [37]; Rainbow trout fed with ginger (Zingiber officinalle) extract [6]. The increased level of ROS production, phagocytosis and bactericidal activity were observed through in vitro effects of leucocytes bovin lactoferrin, mushroom glucan and abrus agglutinin on Indian major carp, C. catla head kidney [38]. The assessment of neutrophil function is an important valuable health status of individuals and animal population [39].…”

Immune responses and protection in catla (Catla catla) vaccinated against epizootic ulcerative syndrome

“…Isolation of HK leukocytes was done as previously described [16] with some modification. Following the blood collection, HK was removed aseptically from the control and vaccinated fish and the cell suspension was obtained by teasing the HK tissues with forcep in complete RPMI-1640 medium containing penicillin (100 IU ml À1 ), streptomycin (100 mg ml À1 ) and 10% foetal calf serum (Hi-media, India).…”

Lactoferrin: A Powerful Antimicrobial Protein Present in Milk

“…bLf has shown beneficial effects when tested in patients with cancer [24][25][26], and some studies have shown that Lf can promote wound healing and bone growth [5]. bLf showed an immunostimulant effect in calves [27,28], chickens [29], and fishes [30,31]. To explain the physiological effects of bLf, it has been analyzed its bodily distribution in rodents and pigs.…”
