Effect of PHA and LPS on the Activity of Nonspecific Cytotoxic Cells and Macrophages of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

This work studied the effect of the lectin phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the activity of nonspecific cytotoxic cells (NCCs) and macrophages of peripheral blood in the rainbow trout. NCCs are cells of the innate immunity, homologues to Natural Killer (NK) cells o...
