On the Immune Response of Clarias batrachus After Immunisation with 25% SRBC

Abstract

Effect of experimental immunization with 25% sheep red blood cells (SRBC) on the immune system of Clarias batrachus was observed. The impact on immune system was studied in terms of serum proteins of the fish. Total Serum Proteins, Albumin and Globulin were determined for the control group and the immunized group. The amount of globulin increased slightly after administering the antigen, thus decreasing the albumin globulin ratio. The results obtained are analysed and presented in this communication.
