Modified extracellular product antigens of Aeromonas salmonicida as potential vaccines for the control of furunculosis in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
Abstract. Extracellular product (ECP) antigens of Aeromonas salmonicida were modified in an attempt were tested on an antigen‐induced proliferation assay, for the ability to induce antibodies as measured by dot blot dot assay and as vaccines in vaccination/challenge trials. Modifications tested incl...

| Summary: | Abstract. Extracellular product (ECP) antigens of Aeromonas salmonicida were modified in an attempt were tested on an antigen‐induced proliferation assay, for the ability to induce antibodies as measured by dot blot dot assay and as vaccines in vaccination/challenge trials. Modifications tested included particularization on to polystyrene beads, coating on to sheep red blood cells, mixing with BCG vaccine as adjuvant, and attachment to the T‐independent carrier Fieoll. The only modification that resulted in increased protection levels was the particularization on to polystyrene beads. |
