Controls for 0, 1, 3 and 6 h of incubation ... expression and itsrole in the regulation of other pro -in ammatory genes, suchas TNF and IFN, in fish, need to be conducted. In conclusion, the IL-10 gene from carp has been isolated and its ... production in mice,chimpanzees, baboons and humans [32–35]. The presence of endogenous IL-10 confers protection from the lethaleffects of endotoxin challenge and reduces the levels of TNF, IFN-c and...
