Molecular Characterization of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor (pIgR) and Expression Response to Vibrio harveyi Challenge in Leopard Coral Grouper (Plectropomus leopardus)

Figure 3

Phylogenetic trees were constructed with the neighbor-joining method based on the amino acid sequences of pl-IgM (a) and pl-pIgR (b) from leopard coral grouper and other species. The reliability of each node is estimated by bootstrapping with 1000 replications implemented in MEGA 7.0. The scale bar (0.1) represents the genetic distance. The numbers marked near the nodes indicate the bootstrap test scores.
