Aquatic Diagnostics

A wide range of monoclonal antibodies (AquaMab-F) is available for the detection of IgM in a variety of fish species used in aquaculture. These are supplied with a standard protocol for their application in enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Detection of specific antibodies in the serum of animals is recognised as a useful indicator of previous exposure to pathogens. This is extremely useful for broodstock health testing. It also provides tools for monitoring the immune response in fish following vaccination and therefore will assist in the development of vaccines in the future as the more fish species are cultured and new diseases emerge.
