The current status on the antibodies that have been produced against teleost fish immuno- globulins, immunoglobulin-bearing cells (B-cells), thymocytes and T-cells is reviewed. An updated list of monoclonal antibodies is reported together with their antigen specificity, their use in the detection of cross-reacting cells, and their eventual use as markers of fish leucocyte subpopulations. The evidence obtained with monoclonal antibodies on the ontogeny of lymphoid cells and functions of lymphocyte subpopulations is presented.

Abstract
The current status on the antibodies that have been produced against teleost fish immuno- globulins, immunoglobulin-bearing cells (B-cells), thymocytes and T-cells is reviewed. An updated list of monoclonal antibodies is reported together with their antigen specificity, their use in the detection of cross-reacting cells, and their eventual use as markers of fish leucocyte subpopulations. The evidence obtained with monoclonal antibodies on the ontogeny of lymphoid cells and functions of lymphocyte subpopulations is presented. The possibility to create a common nomenclature for fish monoclonal antibodies is discussed.File in questo prodotto:
