  • Title: Molecular cloning and expression of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) interleukin-8.
    Author: Itou T, Yoshida Y, Shoji Y, Sugisawa H, Endo T, Sakai T.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 2003 Dec; 65(12):1351-4. PubMed ID: 14709826.
    Abstract:
    The bottlenose dolphin interleukin (IL)-8 cDNA was molecularly cloned. The dolphin IL-8 has an open reading frame of 303-bp encoding 101 amino acids. The homology of the amino acid sequence with that of other species was: sheep, 89.1%; cattle, 88.1%; pig, 85.1%; dog, 85.1%; horse, 79.2%; human, 74.5%; and macaque, 72.3%. The amino acid sequence suggested that dolphin IL-8 was a CXC chemokine. The recombinant dolphin IL-8 protein was recognized with anti-ovine IL-8 monoclonal antibody.
