Generation and Application of Monoclonal Antibodies against Salmon Somatotropin (Salmon Growth Hormone) and Salmon Prolactin

Applications of Monoclonal Antibodies in Animal Health and Production

“…MAbbased ELISAs have been used for studies of Vibrio anguillarum strains (Goerlich, 1987) and for rapid diagnosis of clinical cases of enteric redmouth (Yersinia ruckeri) and furunculosis (Aeromonas salmonicida) (Austin et al, 1986) in fish farms. MAbs have also been employed for analysis of lymphocyte receptors (Fiebig et al, 1983) and characterization of lymphocyte populations (Egberts et al, 1983) in carp, for immunopurification of salmon prolactin, and for development of sandwich ELISA systems for both salmon prolactin and somatotropin (Furuya et al, 1987).…”
