鱼类血栓细胞免疫功能的研究现状

血细胞研究是鱼类基础研究的重中之重。鱼类血细胞的前期研究主要聚焦于淋巴细胞、巨噬细胞和嗜中性粒细胞等细胞的功能特性,而忽略了血栓细胞。血栓细胞是低等脊椎动物具有的类似于哺乳动物血小板的一类细胞,该细胞的经典功能是参与凝血和血栓形成。近年来的研究表明,血栓细胞是一类特殊的免疫细胞,在鱼体免疫应答中发挥重要作用。作者将对鱼类血栓细胞免疫功能相关的形态学、免疫学功能和研究前景等内容进行综述,为鱼类血栓细胞功能的多样性提供基础资料。

Current research on the immune function of thrombocytes in fish

The research on blood cells is very crucial to the research on fish. Research is basically focused on the immune functions of lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils. There is limited focus on thrombocytes. Platelets in mammals and thrombocytes in lower vertebrates are implicated in thrombotic and hemostatic processes. The thrombocytes are regarded as special immune cells that play important roles in the immune response of fish based on current reports. This paper systemically reviews the immune-associated morphological features, immune functions, and future research perspectives on thrombocytes, with the aim of providing basic insight into the multifunctional nature of thrombocytes.
