Characterization of an IgM-like immunoglobulin from silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) serum and its use for the production of polyclonal antibodies and development of immunoassays

Abstract: Knowledge on fish immunoglobulin (Ig) characteristics and the availability of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies to fish Igs are essential to evaluate the humoral immune response and the Ig distribution on leukocyte cells. We demonstrated that silver catfish serum Ig is composed of one im...
