European Seabass Immune Response Data for Dietary Beta-Glucan Study

European seabass physiological and immunological data from a controlled dietary and bacterial challenge experiment. The dataset contains 68,231 data points on hematology, plasma immune markers, and gene expression in skin and intestinal tissues. Miguel Cabano published this work in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license to evaluate the effects of yeast β-glucans on disease resilience.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the correlation between dietary β-glucan levels (0.06%, 0.12%) and hematological parameters like white blood cell count.
• Modeling the effect of Tenacibaculum maritimum infection over time (24h, 7 days) on plasma immune markers such as lysozyme and peroxidase activity.
• Comparing gene expression levels (e.g., il1b, il8, hamp) between challenged and non-challenged fish groups across different tissues.
• Evaluating the relationship between specific IgM levels and dietary treatment as a measure of enhanced immune response.

Strengths

• Dataset includes multi-faceted measurements: hematology, plasma immunology, and gene expression from two tissues.
• Experimental design features a controlled 4-week feeding period and defined post-infection sampling time points.
• Gene expression data is quantified using standardized qPCR with reference gene normalization and the 2^-ΔΔCt calculation method.
• Cross-platform presence on DataCite and Figshare signals established sharing and importance.

Limitations

• The exact row count and complete column names are not provided by any source, limiting precise structural understanding.
• All sources list the same last update date (2026-03-25), which is in the future, creating a conflict regarding data freshness.
