New laboratory assays to measure functional immunity in fish
Moredun Scientific are now able to offer a range of laboratory assays to measure functional immunity in fish.
These assays can be used for a variety of purposes such as assessing the potency of vaccines and vaccine protocols and measuring the effect of functional feed and feed additives on the fish immune system. They can also be used in understanding the factors that affect the virulence of pathogen isolates, allowing informed disease control strategies, and in developing genetic markers of immune function for breeding programmes, to improve resistance to infectious disease.
