Business trip report, Spain, Rashidian

I am proud to highlight my participation in a 5-day intensive training under the supervision of Prof. Carolina Tafalla at the BSL3 Animal Health Research Center (CISA), Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agroalimentaria (INIA), Spanish Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. The training encompassed key techniques including lymphocyte isolation from rainbow trout tissues, cell cultivation in L15 medium, specific phagocytosis assays, lymphocyte labeling with antibodies (anti-CD8, anti-MCH II, and anti-IgM), and flow cytometry analysis. This enriching experience has significantly enhanced my expertise in fish immunology, contributing to the faculty’s ongoing commitment to advanced research and professional development. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for generous financial support for this advanced training provided by an Erasmus training scholarship for employees, facilitated by the University of South Bohemia.
