Abstract

Pattern recognition receptor proteins (PRP) are capable of binding specifically to conserved portion of microbial cell wall components and they are involved in the recognition of different immune modulators. Proteins such as F-type lectin, galectin
and LGBP play protective role in innate immunity of invertebrates. The time dependent expression of F-type lectin gene as well as galectin and LGBP genes was determined after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in the pearl oyster Pinctada
fucata. A significant increase of mRNA expression levels of all the three genes under study was observed in haemocytes, reaching a maximum level at 8 h post-challenge and then declined to basal levels at 36 h. These results suggest that PRPs play a critical role in the innate immune system of the pearl oyster P. fucata.
