ABSTRACT
The present study helps clarify when the fish type I IFN groups/subgroups evolved, by examination of the IFN genes present in the Holostean spotted gar, Lepisosteus oculatus, in relation to the IFN genes present in the Chondrostea (sturgeon). It confirms that all three IFN groups (I-III), and group II subgroups, existed prior to the appearance of teleost fish. Preliminary expression analysis in a gar cell line (GARL) suggests these IFN genes will have a role in antiviral defence in Holostean fish, in that they are induced by poly(IC). A refined model of IFN evolution within the actinopterygian fish is proposed.
