Abstract The effect of battery industry effluent on humoral immune response in mice was studied in 128 mice of two weeks age procured from Small Animal Experimental House of the University. The mice were randomly divided into two equal groups. The mice of both the groups I and II were immunized with Ranikhet disease vaccine (R2 B) at every 15 day up to 120 days. Group I was kept as control while group II mice were given battery industry effluent daily orally ad libitum instead of drinking water. Humoral immune response in mice was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed significant reduction in antibody titers against Ranikhet disease virus indicating suppression of humoral immune response in battery industry effluent fed mice in comparison to control.
