Abstract

Binding of a fluorescent-labelled soluble immune complex to different types of Atlantic salmon leucocytes was investigated using flow cytometry. Peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) were separated into sIg(+) and sIg(-) enriched populations by magnetic activated cell sorting, blood neutrophils were identified by electronic gating, and kidney macrophages were selected by plastic-adherence. About 60% of both sIg(+) and sIg(-) enriched PBL, 44% of neutrophils and 34% of macrophages bound the soluble immune complexes. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
