MsCL-P1: A multifunctional C-type lectin from largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) with broad microbe binding and agglutination activities by Siyi She, Ying Ye, Fengyao Guo, Shun Yang, Mengmeng Huang, Hui Fei

“…Lastly, antibacterial activity assays showed that rCRD inhibited the growth of M. luteus, E. coli, and A. veronii. These results suggest that MsCL-P1 plays a multifaceted role in the innate immune response of largemouth bass, potentially through recognition of PAMPs, agglutination of microbes, and direct inhibition of microbial growth. …”
