Abstract:
Fish were treated with sublethal doses of ascorbic acid before being immunised with different physical forms of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Ascorbic acid elevates the antibody response to all the physical forms of BSA tested. Generally, there was an inverse relationship between the dose of ascorbic acid and antibody response. In fish administered with multiple doses of ascorbic acid, no significant enhancement of antibody response was observed.
