MATERIALS AND METHODSRainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), weighing 350-500 g, were purchased from Muskey Trout Hatchery (Asbury, NJ). The fish were maintained in well-aerated aquaria at 10-~+ 4 Trout chow was given daily and any unconsumed food was removed within five hours-after feeding. Trout were acclimated in the laboratory for at least ten days before use.Peritoneal M~ were elicited by two intraperitoneal injections of 0.4 mg Aeromonas salmonicida in Freund's incomplete adjuvant, fourteen and seven days prior to sacrifice. Macrophages were collected by lavage after anaesthetization with MS-222 (3-amino benzoic acid ethyl ester, pH 7.0). The lavage fluid was centrifuged at 400x g and the cel! pellet resuspended in Eagle s Minimal Essential Medium with Earle s salts (EMEM-E). Cell aliquots were taken to assess M~ number and viability by hemocytometer counting and trypan blue exclusion, respectively, and the remaining cells were used for the functional assays.
