Molecular characterization and expression analysis of the large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) complement component C6 after bacteria challenge

The complement component C6 is an important component that plays a major role in the complement system. This study provides the first investigation of the cloning and characterization of the complement component C6 gene from Larimichthys crocea, and analysis of the expression of complement component C6 and complement component C3 of Larimichthys crocea after Vibrio anguillarum and acid Poly I:C challenge. The work described has not been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere. The study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Animal Experiments of Zhejiang Ocean University.
