I am a student at the uniiversity of Bergen (Norway), and are for the 
moment trying to immunstimulate the intestine of salmon using human    
Ig G. I have given the fish 1ml each with a consentration of 16.5 mg/ml.
I have used immunehistochemistry to detect any stimulation, but it 
doesn`t look like the fish has responded (I have taken samples once a 
week for five weeks). Other scientists have got stimulation after 3 
weeks, but they have used bacteria as an immunstimulant. Does somone 
know if a possible cause for this could be that the Ig G is being 
digested to quickly to create a respons????.
If some one could help I would be very happy.
