Abstract
With the sandwich ELISA it could be seen that hepcidin expression in rainbow trout challenged with Aeromonas salmonicida was increased twofold over the untreated fish in head kidney samples, in correlation with the increase in the observed transcriptional level in the head kidney cells. These results provide the first evidence for quantifying the presence of active hepcidin and may be a useful indicator of disease susceptibility, providing a new, sensitive tool for rapid screening of population health.
