  • Physical and functional characterization of soluble protein antigen(s) produced by Renibacterium salmoninarum

    Creator:
    Turaga, Prasad S. D.
    Abstract:
    Renibacterium salmoninarum produces bacterial kidney disease (BKD) in salmonid fish. Soluble antigen(s) (SA) produced by the bacterium was characterized by physicochemical, functional and immunological methods. The molecular weight determination by SDS-PAGE analysis of SA yielded 14 different molecular weight species. Seven of these species were prominent, 57 kd protein being...

  • Glucocorticoid regulation of salmonid B lymphocytes

    Creator:
    Tripp, Ralph A.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro effects of cortisol in regulating salmonid B cell functions were investigated. B cells at three distinct stages of differentiation were examined for cortisol sensitivity. B lymphocyte responses were examined 1) during the early stage of the precursor, 2) during the intermediate stage of differentiation associated with clonal...

  • Structural and functional analysis of the 57 kDa protein produced by the fish pathogen, Renibacterium salmoninarum

    Creator:
    Wiens, Gregory D.
    Abstract:
    Little is known about the virulence factors of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of salmonid bacterial kidney disease. The predominant protein produced by R. salmoninarum in broth culture or during infection is a 57/58 kDa protein (p57) which is associated with strain virulence. In this study monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to...
