TL;DR: The effects of environmental temperature on certain humoral immune parameters in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) were studied in this article, where they found that immunoglobulin and natural antibody levels increased with increasing temperature whereas the total serum protein concentration, anti-protease activity, iron concentration, unsaturated and total iron binding capacity decreased with an increasing temperature.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the ways in which the classification of mammalian Ig classes and isotypes is quite clear, and the situation with Igs from nonmammalian vertebrates is not.

TL;DR: Southern blot analyses with VH and C probes on genomic DNA from cod erythrocytes indicate that there is a unique C gene but several V genes in the cod immunoglobulin H chain locus.

TL;DR: The results show that the locus of the IgL chain has a multiple organization in teleost fish and that the Locus has an organization similar to that of sharks.

TL;DR: Most of the parameters increased with increasing cod size, except the haemolytic activity which decreased, and higher serum protein levels were seen in cod sampled in the fall than in the spring.
