A monoclonal antibody to zebrafish IFN-γ has been produced and characterised.
The moAb detected induced IFN-γ protein expression following PHA stimulation of kidney/spleen leukocytes.
Antigen specific induction of IFN-γ protein in zebrafish following immunization and re-stimulation was also demonstrated.
A positive correlation between mRNA and protein levels of IFN-γ in zebrafish was revealed in this study.
