[Coral-List] Coral innate immune responses confronted to virulent or avirulent bacterial challenge

[Jérémie Vidal-Dupiol]

Dear coral-listers,
we have recently completed two study focused on innate immune mechanisms 
of /Pocillopora damicornis /confronted to virulent or avirulent 
pathogenic bacteria from the /vibrio/ genus (/Vibrio coralliilyticus/).

The first one is entitled "Physiological responses of the scleractinian 
coral /Pocillopora damicornis/ to bacterial stress from /Vibrio 
coralliilyticus". /It was published in the Journal of Experimental 
Biology (vol 214, pp 1533-1545). This article reports the design of 
experimental procedures used to identify several genes whose expression 
was modified after challenge.

The second one is entitled "Innate immune responses of a scleractinian 
coral to vibriosis" (The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 286, 25, 
22688-22698). This last publication describes the molecular 
characterization and expression of the first AMP (antimicrobial peptide) 
characterized from a scleractinian coral. In addition, it reports that 
the expression of this peptide (named damicornin) is disturbed during 
the infectious process.

These works are not yet in open access so feel free to contact me to get 
a PDF copy.

Thanks and cheers,
Jeremie
