Given the economic impact of SAV outbreaks, much effort is focussed upon understanding the fish immune response following infection and the exploitation of this knowledge to reduce disease impact. Herein we examine the utility of the long-term Atlantic salmon kidney (ASK) cell line as a tool to study antiviral responses upon infection with SAV. Following infection with SAV subtype 1 (isolate V4640) we examined the kinetics and magnitude of induction of IFNa, IFN-regulatory factor (IRF) genes IRF1, IRF3, and IRF7b, as well as the antiviral effector Mx by RT-qPCR. SAV-1 non-structural protein (nsp1) transcript levels increased continuously over the experimental period, indicating viral replication, but cytopathic effect (CPE) was not observed. All the immune genes studied showed an increase in transcript levels over the 96-h study period following SAV infection, with strongest induction of Mx. Our data confirm that ASK cells are a suitable model to study the virus-associated immune responses of salmonids and may be a useful tool when assaying the effectiveness of potential prophylactic or antiviral treatments.Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the commonest genetic cardiac disease, with a prevalence of 1/500. It is caused by over 1400 different mutations, mainly involving the genes coding for sarcomere proteins. The main pathological features of HCM are left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction and the increased ventricular arrhythmogenesis. Predicting the risk of heart failure and lethal arrhythmias is the most challenging clinical task for HCM patient management. Moreover, there are no disease-modifying therapies that can prevent disease progression or sudden arrhythmic death in HCM patients. In this review, we will illustr
