Hi
A few months ago there was a thread about fish immunology that overflowed into a disscusion about "what type of antibodies fish can produce"
I said that i saw that they can make IGM and IgA.
everybody else said that only IGM. When I looked it up the old text book I used said only IGM. I stood corrected.
Yesterday I was in the library and found 3 good papers supporting the fact that fish can make diffrent allotypes of antibodies.
the next papers.
1) Willson et al PNAS '97 vol 94 4593- 97
2)Hordvik et al. scandinavian jour of immunology, Vol 50 202-210.
3)Stenvik, Jourgensen, Immunogenetics 2000, vol 51 452-61.
I am pleased that i recalled correctly the first time. :D
what do you think fellows?
(can I be a moderator now ??? lol)
