The relationship between the activity of splenic enzymes and the immune response in the goldfish, Carassius auratus. I. Preliminary experiments with human A1 secretor's saliva and A1 RBC. II. Preliminary enzyme experiments using alpha-GPD and LDH.
1. Goldfish, Carassius auratus, were injected with two antigenic substances A1 secretor's saliva or A1 RBC. 2. The goldfish produced significant antibody titers which continued for 10-12 weeks when maintained at 28 degrees C. 3. Analysis of enzymatic activities of soluble and particulate alpha-GPD and LDH from skeletal muscle and spleen showed significant differences between and within tissues.
