| Abstract | Chemokines are a family of structurally related chemotactic cytokines that regulate the migration of leukocytes, under both physiological and inflammatory conditions. CC chemokines represent the largest subfamily of chemokines with 28 genes in mammals. Sequence conservation of chemokines between teleost fish and higher vertebrates is low and duplication and divergence may have occurred at a significantly faster rate than in other genes. One feature of CC chemokine genes known to be conserved is genomic clustering. CC chemokines are highly clustered within the genomes of human, mouse, and chicken. To exploit knowledge from comparative genome analysis between catfish and higher vertebrates, here we mapped to bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones 26 previously identified catfish (Ictalurus sp.) chemokine cDNAs. Through a combination of hybridization and fluorescent fingerprinting, 18 fingerprinted contigs were assembled from BACs containing catfish CC chemokine genes. The catfish CC chemokine genes were found to be not only highly clustered in the catfish genome, but also extensively duplicated at various levels. Comparisons of the syntenic relationships of CC chemokines may help to explain the modes of duplication and divergence that resulted in the present repertoire of vertebrate CC chemokines. Here we have also analyzed the expression of the transcripts of the 26 catfish CC chemokines in head kidney and spleen in response to bacterial infection of Edwardsiella ictaluri, an economically devastating catfish pathogen. Such information should pinpoint research efforts on the CC chemokines most likely involved in inflammatory responses. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
