    Abstract : Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from the Baltic Sea suffer from a reproduction disease known as the M74-syndrome. Newly hatched fry develop nerve disorders and die between 3-5 days after the first symptoms are seen. This is a maternally transmitted disease that is casued by a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency.

    Author : David Malone; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cells have a key role in control and clearance of viral infections. To carry out this function NK cells are capable of recognising infected cells and responding with induction of apoptosis in these cells, and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. READ MORE
