Specific pathogen free rainbow trout (mean length 15 ± 1 cm) were maintained in recirculating de-chlorinated water at 19±1 °C. Prior to the experiment, fish were distributed between 9 aquaria, 18 fish per aquarium. The test groups were infected by immersion of Yersinia ruckeri strains: CSF007-82 (biotype 1) and 7959-11 (biotype 2). The control group was immersed similar with sterile broth medium. There were 3 aquaria per each group (CSF007-82-infected, 7959-11-infected and control). Nine fish from infected and control fish groups were anaesthetized with MS-222 at 3, 9 and 28 days post exposure and sampled aseptically. Each spleen was washed three times with sterile phosphate-buffered saline containing a cocktail of mammalian protease inhibitors. Spleen samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80 °C.
