Antiviral Immune Responses of Bats: A Review 2012-08-01 .txt text/plain 8600 397 45 Efforts to understand the immune systems of bats have been greatly facilitated in recent years by the availability of partial genome sequences from two species of bats, a megabat, Pteropus vampyrus, and a microbat, Myotis lucifugus, allowing the rapid identification of immune genes. Efforts to understand the immune systems of bats have been greatly facilitated in recent years by the availability of partial genome sequences from two species of bats, a megabat, Pteropus vampyrus, and a microbat, Myotis lucifugus, allowing the rapid identification of immune genes. Consistent with the results obtained from bats immunized with /X174 or SRBC antigens, vaccination and experimental viral infections have provided evidence for quantitative and qualitative differences in antibody responses in bats compared with other mammals. It is evident they have similar antibody and T-cell receptor genes, cytokines and chemokines, transcription factors, cluster of differentiation (CD) markers and activation pathways found in the immune responses of other mammalian species. ./cache/cord-308932-pp8etmwq.txt ./txt/cord-308932-pp8etmwq.txt
