We earlier identified two CXCL8-like lineages in cyprinid fish, which are functional homologues of the mammalian CXCL8, but with diverged functions. We here investigated whether the carp IFN-γ-inducible CXCb gene, related to the mammalian CXCL9, -10 and -11 chemokines, was subject to a similar diver...
