Description

Effects of various concentrations of specific immune serum on phagocytosis and phagocytosisassociated chemiluminescent (CL) responses were investigated with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocytic cells. When heat-inactivated rainbow trout anti-SRBC serum was used to opsonize SRBC, rates of phagocytic ingestion of SRBC by phagocytes increased with lower dilutions of the antiserum, and CL activities also rose with lower dilutions of the antiserum. The number of phagocytized SRBC per phagocyte increased in response to concentrations of the antiserum. These results indicate that CL response correlates with phagocytosis of which the activity depends on the concentration of specific immune serum used as an opsonin.
