Controls | Immunized | Controls | Immunized | |
24 | 1.1 ± 0.4 (n = 6) | 22.3 ± 16.7 (n = 6) | 1.7 ± 1.1 (n = 6) | 19 ± 8.8 (n = 4) |
42 | 2 ± 0 (n = 4) | 24.2 ± 24.2 (n = 6) | 1.5 ± 0.5 (n = 5) | 22 ± 12 (n = 4) |
The antibody titer is shown as the reciprocal of the last dilution which caused agglutination. Each value represents the mean ± standard deviation of titers from fish sampled on the same day. n, number of fish.
