Abstract
Hemocytes are the primary immune cells of crustaceans. Few comparison studies have been done among different crustaceans and some key parameters of circulating hemocytes have not been investigated. Here, we compared the circulating hemocytes in six decapod crustaceans, Cherax quadrinatus, Procambarus clarkii, Penaeus vannamei, Penaeus monodon, Eriocheir sinensis, and Scylla paramamosain. Although the hemocytes of different species vary in size, they share common morphological characteristics. Based on their morphological features, circulating hemocytes can be basically classified into granular cells (GCs), semi-granular cells (SGCs), and hyaline cells (HCs). In the six decapods analyzed in this study, the proportion of GCs varied from 10 % to 30 %. P. vannamei, P. monodon, and P. clarkii had fewer GCs in circulation than the other three species. Correspondingly, proliferation was detected only in a small portion of cells in P. vannamei, P. monodon, and P. clarkii under physical conditions. The hemocyte renewal rates for P. clarkii, E. sinensis, and C. quadrinatus were 6.1 %, 5.1 %, and 1.5 % per day, while no steady new hemocyte production was found in S. paramamosain within six days. These data give a general picture of the similarities and differences of circulating hemocytes in decapods and provide a base for an in-depth study of their immune system.
期刊介绍:
Fish and Shellfish Immunology rapidly publishes high-quality, peer-refereed contributions in the expanding fields of fish and shellfish immunology. It presents studies on the basic mechanisms of both the specific and non-specific defense systems, the cells, tissues, and humoral factors involved, their dependence on environmental and intrinsic factors, response to pathogens, response to vaccination, and applied studies on the development of specific vaccines for use in the aquaculture industry.
