- Abstract
This article focuses on the detection of Renibacterium salmoninarum and Yersinia ruckeri by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical technique in melanin-containing cells of fish tissues. Immunohistochemical enzyme techniques are important tools for detection of microbial antigens in tissues. Such methods may substantially aid diagnostic work, especially for organisms which are slow-growing or difficult to culture. Since detection of infectious agents in fixed postmortem material is often readily accomplished by those techniques, they may be excellent for retrospective studies. Thus, enzyme immunohistochemistry is increasingly used in work on infectious fish diseases; for example, viral diseases and bacterial infections.
