Abstract
Homologous gene of B-lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp-1) of torafugu (Takifugu rubripes) was identified by tblast search analysis. RT-PCR and 5ʹRACE clearly defined the sequence of the UTR and coding region which has been ambiguously determined by tblast analysis. Fugu Blimp-1 was mainly expressed in the lymphoid organs. These finding imply that Blimp-1 would take a major role in the terminal differentiation of B-cells to plasma cells in fish.
