Figure 6


Fig. 6. Confocal microscope pictures showing coelomocytes and cells from coelomic epithelium explants of A. rubens and FITC-labelled yeast (green). (A–D) Different shapes of cells released by coelomic epithelium explant. (E,F) Different shapes of phagocytes in the coelomic fluid. Cells in B show high similarity to the phagocytes shown in E, and D shows high similarity to F. (G,H) Evidence of phagocytosis (G shows cells from the explant; H shows a cell from coelomic fluid). (I) Cluster of phagocytes at high density. Scale bars, 25 µm. (Supplementary material includes movies on phagocytic behaviour of cells from coelomocytes and from coelomic epithelium.)
