Abstract
Seven immune factors, lysozyme, hepcidin, heat-shock protein (HSP) 70, HSP90, immunoglobulin M, C-type lectin, and Lily-type lectin, were measured by PCR in the livers, spleens, and head kidneys of turbot infected with Vibrio anguillarum. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and genotype main effects and genotype × environment interaction (GGE) biplot analysis were used to analyze genotype × tissue interactions for immunological factors. The AMMI analysis revealed that immune factor expression was significantly affected by genotype, tissue, and genotype × tissue interactions. Genotype (65.85%) was the major contributor to the total variation in immune factor expression in comparison to tissue effects (7.54%) and genotype × tissue interactions (12.52%). GGE biplot analysis revealed differences in the ranking of the seven immune factors in the three tissues; head kidney possessed the strongest ability to distinguish the seven immune factors. The test tissue locations were divided into liver-spleen and head kidneys regions; HSP70 was expressed the highest in the liver-spleen regions, and lysozyme had the highest expression in the head kidney region. Overall, HSP70 and HSP90 had the best expression and stability in the three tissues.
