The mammalian testis and ovary possess special immunocompetence, which is central to provide protection against pathogens. However, the innate immune responses to immune challenges in lamprey gonads are poorly understood. In this study, we extracted RNA from testis and ovary tissues of lampreys at 0 hour, 8 hours and 17 days after lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulation and performed transcriptome sequencing. While the transcriptome profiles of the two tissues were different for the most part, genes LIP , LECT2 , LAL2 , GRN , ITLN , and C1q were found to be the most significantly up-regulated genes in both...
