“…Our findings support previous research showing that immune responses of bats have some similarities with those of mammals [11][12][13], and led to the hypothesis that STAT1 might not be a critical factor for the differing clinical signs following infection with zoonotic viruses [7,9,10]. However, the target positions of STAT1 are different among viruses, and the structure and function of bat STAT1 might be different among bats.…”

“…In mammals, RV infection causes 100% mortality, but some bats have shown no clinical signs with detectable antibody titers and were able to resist infection and become a carrier when infected with RV [7][8][9][10]. Although immunological studies of bats may provide important clues to help clarify the relationships between host immune factors and viruses, few studies have been performed on the immune system of bats [6,[11][12][13].…”

“…(2011) demonstrated that four species of bats, including one megabat ( Cynopterus sphinx ) and three microbats ( Carollia perspicillata , M. lucifugus and E. fuscus ) transcribe IgM, IgE, IgA and multiple IgG classes, the latter of which appears to have diversified after speciation as in other mammals. Serum fractionation using normal serum from the neotropical species, Artibeus lituratus and from P. giganteus has confirmed that bat IgM, IgG and IgA are homologous to corresponding human immunoglobulins (McMurray et al., 1982; Chakravarty and Sarkar, 1994). However, evidence so far indicates that IgD may be unique to microbats, with IgD present at the genomic and transcriptional level in M. lucifugus but not in the megabats.…”

“…Several immunoglobulin classes such as IgG, IgA, and IgM found in mammals have also been purified from great fruit-eating bat (Artibeus lituratus) sera (McMurray et al, 1982). The lymphoid development of bats and other mammals are also very similar which is evidenced by identification of B and T lymphocytes, Macrophages and cells expressing surface Ig in bone marrow of Indian bats (Pteropus giganteus) (Schountz et al, 2004).…”
