The proportion of susceptible and resistant charr which produced agglutinating antibody were similar, but resistant brook charr had higher agglutination titres than susceptible brook charr. Concanavalin A stimulated peripheral blood leucocytes of Cryptobia-resistant charr and the kinetic profiles suggest that maximal stimulation is dependent on mitogen concentration. Cryptobia-resistant brook charr displayed both cell-mediated and humoral responses suggesting that their immune functions are similar to those of Cryptobia-susceptible charr. Humoral immunity .
