Abstract
Gonad and spleen primary cultures of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) were initiated and compared to the rainbow trout gonad transformed cell line RTG-2. The RTG-2 cell line grew faster than the gonad primary cultures. The chromosome number of the gonad primary culture was 2n=56 with 104 chromosome arms. The RTG-2 cell line chromosome number ranged from 2n=48 to 2n=59. Giemsa and reverse banding of the chromosomes were unsuccessful. Protein differences were observed between the gonad primary culture, spleen primary cultures, and the RTG-2 cell line as detected by molecular weight determination using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
