As invertebrates lack an adaptive immune system, they depend to a large extent on their innate immune system to recognize and clear invading pathogens. Although phagocytes play pivotal roles in invertebrate innate immunity, the molecular mechanisms underlying this killing remain unclear. Cells of this type from the Pacific oyster <i>Crassostrea gigas</i> were classified efficiently in this study <i>via</i> fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) based on their phagocytosis of FITC-labeled lat ...[more]
