Abstract
Intelectin is a lectin with the capacity to recognize and bind to carbohydrates. In this study, we successfully cloned cITLN3 from common carp, which consists of a signal peptide domain, a FReD domain, and an intelectin domain. The expression levels of cITLN3 were detected in various organs of common carp, including the liver, head kidney, spleen, foregut, midgut, and hindgut, with the highest expression observed in the liver. Following infection with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila), the expression level of cITLN3 was significantly upregulated in all organs of common carp. Subsequently, we expressed and purified the recombinant cITLN3 protein using an E. coli expression system. The cITLN3 could aggregate both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in the presence of Ca2+, with a stronger affinity for gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, our study demonstrated that cITLN3 displayed a higher binding affinity towards PGN compared to LPS. Furthermore, we observed that cITLN3 had the potential to inhibit bacterial proliferation in common carp and safeguard intestinal integrity during bacterial stimulation. And the results also indicated that cITLN3 might played a role in the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) signaling pathway activation.

Abstract
This study aims to immunize the koi fingerlings immersion using the formalin-killed and freeze-dried E. coli DH5α carrying plasmid for the KHV DNA vaccine. 200 fish on each tank in a total water volume of 20 L. Each tanks consists of different vaccination group: PBS as control (10 mL; C), empty E. coli DHα (10 mL at 108 CFU mL-1; E), formalinkilled E. coli DHα:ORF81 (10 mL at 108 CFU mL-1; KE), freezedried E.coli DHα:ORF81 without formalin inactivation (10 mL at 108 CFU mL-1; FE), and formalin-killed and then freeze-dried E. coli DHα:ORF81 (10 mL at 108 CFU mL-1; KFE). The bath vaccination was conducted for 1 × 30 min. For the challenged test, fish were immersed with the 100 mL of LD50 dose of KHV (10-2 dilution from the KHV stock) for 30 min. The vaccination using E. coli DH5α:ORF81 could significantly modulate the innate and adaptive immunity of the fish and result in higher fish survival after KHV infection. The vaccination using formalin-killed or formalin-killed and freezedried E. coli DH5α:ORF81 will be further developed as an alternative to the costefficient koi or carp fingerlings vaccination method.
