Electrophoretic Mobility of an Immune Globulin from Rainbow Trout Serum

Abstract

CONSIDERABLE interest has been focused recently on the comparative aspects of the immune response in vertebrates. A sound knowledge of the development of the immune response at various phylogenetic stages in existing vertebrates may clarify the evolution of the various aspects of vertebrate immunity through its highest development in mammals and birds, and provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved. This communication reports findings concerning the immunoelectrophoretic mobility of an immunologically active fraction of serum from a teleost fish, rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).
