Abstract
The
paper describes the superiority of monoclonal
antibodies (MAb) over conventional polyclonal
antisera. Studies undertaken indicate that Aeromonas
hydrophila isolates
are highly heterogenous and variation exists even
between isolates from a farm, requiring a large
number of MAbs for classification and use of information
in vaccine development. However, some of the MAbs
could be used for detection of homologous isolates
in fish kidney by immunodot assay and evaluation
and standardization of biofilm of A.hydrophila
for oral vaccination
in carps.
