| Abstract | Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) include a group of innate immune receptors located in the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) and other small clusters such as the TREM/NKp44 cluster. These receptors are characterised by the presence of immunoglobulin domains, a stalk, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic region containing either an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) or are linked to an adapter molecule with an activation motif (ITAM) for downstream signalling. We have isolated two carp cDNA sequences encoding receptors in which the extracellular Ig domain structurally resembles the novel V-type Ig domain of NKp44. This is supported by a homology model. The cytoplasmic regions contain either an ITAM (Cyca-NILT1) or ITIMs (Cyca-NILT2). The tissue expression of these receptors is nearly identical, with the highest expression in the immunological organs. Peripheral blood leucocytes showed no detectable expression, but upon in vitro culture expressed NILT1, the activating receptor, and not the inhibitory NILT2 receptor. Southern blot analysis indicated that the NILT1 and NILT2 sequences belong to a multigene family. Analysis of the NILT Ig domain-encoding sequences amplified from both genomic DNA and cDNA revealed extensive haplotypic and allelic polymorphism. Database mining of the zebrafish genome identified several homologs on Chromosome 1, which also contains a cluster of class I major histocompatibility genes. This constellation is reminiscent of the TREM/NKp44 gene cluster and the HLA complex located on human Chromosome 6. The carp NILT genes form a unique cluster of innate immune receptors, which are highly polymorphic, and characterised by a new Ig structural subfamily and are distinct from the novel immune-type receptors (Nitrs) found in other fish species. |

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.
