Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS here concerning virus infections of marine animals and of their cells in tissue culture indicated the need for an understanding of the immunological responses of such animals. To our knowledge there are no published reports on antibody production in marine fish (elasmobranchs or teleosts), although such investigations have been reported for fresh-water fish1–4. This paper represents a preliminary report on the production of viral antibodies in sharks.
