Abstract
A nylon wool separation technique was employed to separate rainbow trout leucocytes into adherent and non-adherent populations. The non-adherent population showed a greater response to concanavalin A (ConA) and a lesser response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) than did the adherent population in the spleen, kidney and peripheral blood. The great majority (>90%) of thymocytes were in the non-adherent population. The non-adherent population from the spleen, kidney and peripheral blood showed signicantly (P>0.05) higher numbers of acid phosphatase-positive lymphocytes than the adherent population, but there was no significant difference in the pattern of immunochemical staining using a mouse anti-trout IgM monoclonal antibody.
