| Abstract | The recent identification of a large and diverse family of leukocyte immune-type receptors (IpLITRs) in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) indicates that immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) members related to both mammalian Fc receptors (FcRs) and leukocyte receptor complex (LRC)-encoded proteins exist in fish. In the present study, it was found that IpLITR messages were preferentially up regulated in catfish peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) and clonal cytotoxic T cells (CTL) after alloantigen stimulation. Detailed sequence analyses of the expressed IpLITR cDNAs from two clonal CTL lines indicated an unexpectedly large array of putative activatory and inhibitory IpLITR-types containing variable numbers of extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains. Importantly, all expressed IpLITRs shared similar membrane distal Ig domains (i.e., D1 and D2), suggesting that they may bind a common type of ligand. Sequence alignments and comparative homology modeling revealed that IpLITR domains, D1 and D2, have similar predicted 3-D structural properties with the corresponding domains of the human LRC-encoded leukocyte Ig-like receptor (LILR) family. Furthermore, conservation of key major histocompatibility class I (MHC I)-binding residues were located at similar positions within the membrane distal tip of D1 between representative IpLITRs and group 1 LILRs. Taken together, these results suggest that fish LITRs have an orthologous relationship to LRC-encoded receptors such as the human LILRs and could potentially function as a diverse family of MHC class I-binding receptors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
