Abstract
A simple and rapid method for analysis of fish blood cells is presented. Carp (Cyprinus carpio) blood was diluted 200 times with Hanks' solution containing 1 microg/ml of DiOC6(3) which is a fluorescent, lipophilic dye. After staining for 10 min, the blood cells were measured by a flow cytometer (FACS). Several blood cell populations were identified by different FL-1 (green fluorescence), FSC (forward scatter), and SSC (side scatter) properties. FL-1 v. SSC or FSC v. SSC dot-plot of stained blood cells displayed five separate cell populations: erythrocytes: a mixture of thrombocytes plus lymphocytes; monocytes; neutrophils; and basophils. The number of each type of blood cell counted by the FACS was in good agreement with those counted microscopically.Entities:
