The protective effect of Vibrio anguillarum immunization administered by the direct immersion technique in ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis Temminck and Schiegel, was investigated. The activities of phagocytic cells were suppressed at the time of vaccination by previous bath exposures to a cyclophosphamide solution containing a concentration of 500 mg/kg/ml on days 2 and 3 before vaccination. An artificial challenge was carried out 3 weeks after vaccination by bath exposure. The survival rate of the vaccine group pre-treated with cyclophosphamide was 96%. In the group given traditional vaccine only, 73% survived: and in the non-vaccine control group, 10% survived. These results suggest that protective immunity of ayu vaccinated by the direct immersion technique may not implicate the early activities of phagocytic cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
