Generation of polyclonal antiserum to olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) immunoglobulin by immunization of rabbit with plasmids containing heavy chain gene of olive flounder immunoglobulin
نویسندگان
چکیده
In fish vaccinology, the secondary antibodies against fish immunoglobulins (Igs) are necessary to measure specific humoral immune responses in immunized fish. In the present study, polyclonal antiserum against olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) IgM heavy chain was generated by intramuscular immunization of rabbit with Escherichia coli/eukaryotic shuttle vector containing open reading frame (ORF) of olive flounder IgM heavy chain. Western blot analysis demonstrated the specific activity of the rabbit antiserum with reduced olive flounder serum H chain at dilutions up to 1:1000. Titer of immunized rabbit serum against olive flounder serum was significantly higher than that of pre-immunized rabbit serum when determined by ELISA.

Respiratory burst, lysozyme, phagocytic activities, and immune gene expression levels were assessed in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus, 10.52±2.5 g) fed with 0%, 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4% Lonicera japonica leaf powder (LjLP) for four weeks. All flounder fish fed LjLP showed significantly increased respiratory burst, lysozyme and phagocytic activity. Total immunoglobulin levels ...

Kudoa septempunctata is the causative agent of a foodborne disease associated with the consumption of raw Paralichthys olivaceus (olive flounder). Chickens were used to establish specific antibodies against K. septempunctata spores. A specific antiserum, CS#3, raised against sonicated spores, also recognized intact spores. The CS#3 antiserum showed high titers for sonicated and intact K. septem...
