NOAA Tech Memo NMFS NWFSC-8: Contaminant Exposure in Juvenile Salmon (cont): Figure 8

Figure 8. The primary in vivo antibody titer and kinetics to the TNP hapten as determined by an ELISA. The units of anti-TNP activity/µL of plasma were determined for chinook salmon collected from the Green River Hatchery (represented by filled square box) and from teh Duwamish Waterway (represented by an open circle) at various time points after injection with the antigen TNP-KLH. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. Plasman from 10 salmon were analyzed at each time point tested except at time 0, when 5 plasma samples were analyzed. (Adapted from Arkoosh et al. 1991.)
