“…Higher titers were shown in vaccinated fish that had greater protection after challenge. Previous studies by other authors show mucus antibody may be locally synthesized on the surface of the fish (FLETCHER and WHITE, 1973;KAWAI et al, 1981;DI CONZA and HALLIDAY, 1971 …”

The efficacy of different vaccine preparations was investigated for the development of a practical vaccine against pseudotuberculosis in cultured yellowtail. The vaccines were: formalin killed Pasteurella piscicida, a whole cell vaccine; phenol-water extracted lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a LPS vaccine; and an autolysed centrifuged 75% (NH4)2SO4 precipitated culture, a precipitated vaccine. The vaccines were delivered by immersion and spray methods. An artificial challenge by gastral administration with virulent P. piscicida was carried out three weeks after vaccination. The percent survival ten days after challenge in the fish vaccinated by the immersion method were: 87% in group administered the LPS vaccine, 73% using the precipitated vaccine, 40% using the whole cell vaccine and 40% in the non vaccinated controls. The percent survival ten days after challenge in the fish vaccinated by the spray method were: 80% in the group administered the LPS vaccine, 60% in the precipitated vaccine group, 50% in the whole cell vaccine group and 30% in the non-vaccinated controls. Prior to challenge, higher agglutinating antibody titers against P. piscicida in the skin mucus were observed in vaccinated fish that had greater protection after challenge. It was concluded the LPS from P. piscicida cells was the most effective vaccine of the three vaccines examined against pseudotuberculosis in yellowtail.

“…In species of teleost fish, the skin also has important immunological roles against aquatic infectious agents, as does other mucosal tissues such as the gut (4). In fact, tetrameric IgM, but not dimeric IgA, exists in the skin and gut mucus of teleost fish (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). In addition, several reports clearly show that teleost mucosal IgM is produced independently to systemic Abs, indicating the existence of a mucosal immune system in the teleost (7, 8, 16 -20).…”

The skin mucus IgM is an important molecule in the mucosal immune system of teleost skin. However, the transport mechanism associated with this molecule has yet to be clarified. In this study, we isolated a gene encoding a polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) from a species of teleost fish, Takifugu rubripes (fugu). This gene is known to be an Ig transporter in the intestine of mammals. Our studies further demonstrated that fugu pIgR was expressed in the skin and that a fragment of pIgR bound to tetrameric IgM in the skin mucus. These results indicate that the skin pIgR transports tetrameric IgM into the skin mucus. The fugu pIgR exhibits a unique structure containing only two Ig-like domains corresponding to domain 1 and domain 4/5 of mammalian pIgR. This structure was sufficient for successful binding to tetrameric IgM. Teleost skin thus adopts the same Ig transport system as mammalian intestine via a unique pIgR.
