Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against black rockfish Sebastes schlegeli serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) were developed, which showed a specific reaction with the heavy chain of S. schlegeli IgM in Western blotting and with surface IgM positive (sIgM+ ) lymphocytes in indirect immunofluorescence. mAb 2A6 was employed to investigate the antibody and sIgM+ lymphocyte responses of S. schlegeli injected with inactivated Edwardsiella tarda, by ELISA and flow cytometry. Compared with controls, the level of specific antibodies and the percentage of sIgM+ lymphocytes both increased in the immunized fish and simultaneously reached their peaks at day 35 after immunization.
