Abstract
AbstractHaemonchus contortusis one of the most deadly parasites affecting sheep industry causing heavy economic loss. In our earlier study, we have reported RIGI, an earlier established antiviral molecule and CD14 (an earlier established antibacterial molecule) to have potential role in antiparasitic immunity for the first time. In this current study, we aim to clone and sequence the IL-6 and IL10 genes in sheep (Ovis aries) and utilized bioinformatics methods to analyze and compare the functional and structural domains of peptides produced from IL6 and IL10. Furthermore, the study explored these domains in three-dimensional structures. The findings of this study provide molecular characterization of IL-6 and IL10 in sheep, which is essential for advancing our understanding of functional immune responses in this animal. We report IL6 and IL10 to have potential antiparasitic role against H. contortus for first time. The production of these molecules opens up possibilities for its potential use as recombinant proteins to manipulate the immune response. Evaluating its value in vaccine research and gaining a broader understanding of its role in immune responses becomes feasible with the availability of IL-6 and IL10. Moreover, the differential mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL10 between healthy and diseased sheep indicate its crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and mounting immune responses. IL10 acts as receptor for H. contortus. The identification of this immune-responsive gene also offers new avenues for investigating long-term resistance to H. contortus infection in sheep.
