| Summary: | The work herein aims at gaining deeper insights into the marron Cherax cainii haemocyte immunological responses. Haemocyte responses include morphologic characteristics, population changes, phagocytosis and nitric oxide production: evaluated in response to inflammatory stimuli from Gram negative bacteria and their endotoxin. The findings demonstrate that C. cainii haemocytes are involving in the pathogens elimination. The data is suggestive that there is one cell line forming three distinct haemocyte types of a contiguous nature. |
