Can enzyme histochemistry identify the immune cells of the octocoral Swiftia exserta
Meeting Abstract P3.126 Sunday, Jan. 6 Can enzyme histochemistry identify the immune cells of the octocoral Swiftia exserta? MENZEL, L.P.*; BIGGER, C.H.; Florida International University lorenzo.menzel@fiu.edu Most animals rely on circulating hemocytes (leukocytes in mammals) as cellular effectors of their immune system. These cells have traditionally been characterized based on morphology, function, and/or cellular contents/products. Morphological descriptions […]
