Characterization of the Classical Complement Pathway of Rainbow Trout [PDF]
Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 1988 Characteristics of the classical complement pathway (CCP) of rainbow trout Salmo gairdneti was examined using sheep red blood cells sensitized with porgy Pagrms major antibody which is compatible with rainbow trout complement. The rainbow trout CCP showed the highest activity when the reaction was performed at 20-25°C and around pH 7.5, and the ...
