“…The one exception was the r-p57 antigen of the salmonid pathogen R. salmoninarum, which elicited a strong antibody response in both fish species. Similar results have been described in Atlantic salmon which produced a strong antibody response to a bacterial pathogen of fish [19], but a weak response to diphtheria toxoid [20]. Etlinger et al [21] reported that adult rainbow trout also failed to respond to certain thymus-dependent antigens, including KLH, BSA, and human gamma globulin.…”

“…According to Chevassus and Dorson [26], studies on genetic resistance to disease in fish are in favour of genetic effects on the level of antibodies but do not yet allow relating them to the resistance to any disease. However, genetic variation on specific antibody production has been studied in relation to resistance [72, 73], and carp lines with a genetically determined high or low antibody production have been characterized [70, 74]. Chin et al.…”

“…Fish innate immunity against some parasites has been studied (Forward, Ferguson & Woo 1995; Forward & Woo 1996), and differences among fish in the response to different antigens have been reported between, and within species because of genetic variation (Eide, Linder, Stromsheim, Fjalestad, Larsen & Roed 1994; Stromsheim, Eide, Fjalestad, Larsen & Roed 1994; Stromsheim, Eide, Hofgaard, Larsen, Refstie & Roed 1994; Hedrick, McDowell, Gay, Marty, Georgiadis & MacConnell 1999). The inability of L. salmonae to infect closely related fish may be an indication of host specificity in this parasite, which has been reported for other fish microsporidia (Pomport‐Castillon, Gasc & Romestand 1999).…”
