This study investigated the use of a recombinant protein of Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of Amoebic gill disease (AGD), as an immunogen to generate systemic and mucosal antibody responses against the parasite. Genes encoding N. perurans homologs of mannose-binding protein (MBP) from Acanthamoeba spp.

- This study evaluated how Atlantic salmon respond immunologically to two specific antigens using various delivery methods.
- Fish injected intraperitoneally (IP) with the antigens showed significant systemic antibody responses, particularly noticeable six weeks after injection.
- While the injection did not boost mucosal antibody levels in the skin mucus, it did indicate increased antibody production in the skin tissue itself over time, suggesting effective immune activation.
