Fish Immunity Homepage
This page has been designed in
an effort to give a brief description of the immune system within fish.
Specific immunity is an inducible response with specificity directed towards
specific molecules on pathogens or other foreign agents which may enter
the body. Topics covered here include: Fish immunoglobins, antibody
effector mechanisms, B cells, memory, and vaccination. A brief tribute
to Stephen L Kaattari, for his contribution towards the research of fish
immunology, will follow. Enjoy, but please, don't get "hooked!"
