Abstract
Seven complement components have been discovered in 2013, when compared to mouse genome. Another component: the C6 component was found in sea star, when compared to rainbow trout genome:”Oncorhynchus mykiss”.
Highlights
We have recently described the” Sea star complement Evidence” [1]
We find much more complement components in the sea star than in trout: 8 out of 9, when compared to mouse
How do we explain these differences between trout and A. rubens? Phylogenetically speaking the sea star could be situated in “an evolutive cul de sac”and might evolved more quickly than rainbow trout, in term of innate immunity
Summary
We have recently described the” Sea star complement Evidence” [1]. We remarked that C6 and C7 components were missing in sea star transcriptome when compared to mouse one. An extensive study allowed us to research these components in less evolved animals (phylogenetically speaking) than mouse. Genomic features of the rainbow trout: Oncorhynchus mykiss have helped us, in this study. At this point, we were attempting to determine how many similar complement components might be present in Asterias rubens (Invertebrate) and in Oncorhynchus mykiss (Vertebrate)
