The Monoclonal Antibodies in Fish and Shellfish Health Management in India
K.M. Shankar, C.V. Mohan, T.M. Anil and R. Vidhya

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.
