[Coelomocyte]
Coelomocytes are considered the immune cells of lower coelomate animals (annelida, mollusca, arthropoda). These cells are types of leukocytes that have long been considered to constitute the major innate (unspecific) immune defense system of these animals (Hostetter and Cooper, 1972; Engelmann et al, 2005). They respond to environmental and experimental challenge by the activation of stress markers, including heat shock proteins such as hsp70 and metallothioneins (Matranga et al, 2002; Homa et al, 2005). These cells types are studied because they provide information about mechanisms governing innate immunity. Nair et al (2005) have performed gene expression
