Cumulative Effects of Natural and Anthropogenic Stress on Immune Function and Disease Resistance in Juvenile Chinook Salmon

Creator:

Jacobson, Kym C., Arkoosh, Mary R., Kagley, Anna N., Clemons, Ethan R., Collier, Tracy K., and Casillas, Edmundo

Abstract:

Previous studies have shown that juvenile chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha exposed in the field or the laboratory to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), an anthropogenic stressor, are immunosuppressed. It is not known whether simultaneous exposure to natural stressors can increase this immunosuppression. To examine the effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on...

Analysis of salmonid leukocytes purified by hypotonic lysis of erythrocytes

Creator:

Crippen, Tawni L., Bootland, Linda M., Leong, Jo-Ann C., Fitzpatrick, Martin S., Schreck, Carl B., and Vella, Anthony T.

Abstract:

A technique that uses hypotonic lysis of erythrocytes was optimized for the purification of leukocytes from the peripheral blood and anterior kidney (pronephros) of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Comparisons of initial blood dilution (1:2, 1:4, and 1:6) and the time of exposure to hypotonic conditions (10, 20, and 40 s)...
