Hemocyte proliferation with focal thickening of the stroma was present among the digestive glands, the albumin glands and the ovo-testis (Fig.
Hemocyte differentiation in the hematopoietic organs of the silkworm, Bombyx mori: prohemocytes have the function of phagocytosis.
Additionally, during the exposure period chronic effects such as alterations in behavior, physiology and immune system were assessed by the total
hemocyte count (THC) of the surviving shrimp.
A bacterial-induced lectin which triggers
hemocyte coagulation in Manduca sexta.
Incorporating a specially developed
hemocyte percolating filter, the tube can drastically reduce the time required for blood drawing and testing from 15-40 minutes to only 2 minutes.
Anderson SR, Patel KM, Roesijadi G (1999) Oyster metallothionein as an oxyradical scavenger: Implications for
hemocyte defense responses.
Individual hemolymph samples were either 1) immediately fixed in formaldehyde (2% final concentration) for estimation of
hemocyte concentration, or 2) deposited in cytometry tubes to separately measure cell viability, phagocytic capacity and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
2003), and Fisher (2004) proposed a possible role for these heavy metals as antimicrobial agents in oyster
hemocyte functioning.

A calreticulin-like protein from endoparasitoid venom fluid is involved in host
hemocyte inactivation.
Relationship between mitochondria-associated fluorescence and
hemocyte motility in Gromphadorhina portentosa.
Figure 2b presents a section of a similar region of the cephalopedal mass of a one-week old infected mollusk, with disorganization of the fibrous muscular structure of the foot, reduction of the mucous secretory cells, and many granuloma-like structures composed of
hemocyte infiltration, but staining with Gomori's trichrome did revealed no collagen deposition or a small quantity of it in these structures around the larvae.
