“…However, the behavior of allogenic hemolymph transfer in bivalves is unknown. Ey & Jenkin (1982) have shown non-self recognition directed towards invading microorganisms, damaged tissue and foreign material. In addition to greater MI, the pooled samples always showed more debris and lower HC than non-pooled samples.…”

“…2C). However, as in some other invertebrates (Ey & Jenkin, 1982), whether the amoebocytes rely on serum factors to aid in the recognition of foreign particles and whether killing and digestion occur following phagocytosis, are unknown. Preliminary studies on integumental wound healing in B. lanceolatum (Rhodes, unpubl.…”

The present review considers the structure, site of formation and functions of protochordate blood cells/coelomocytes. Details of the circulatory and coelomic system are also given where appropriate. In the hemichordates, blood cells are absent but a single type of amoebocyte is present in the coelomic cavity. A similar situation exists in cephalochordates and these cells appear to play an important role in maintaining the animal free from infection. In the urochordates, several morphologically distinct types of blood cells (haemocytes) exist, some of which store vanadium. At present little is known concerning the phylogeny and ontogeny of the different cell types in these groups.

We investigated the biological features of a hemagglutinin present in seminal plasma of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. The erythroagglutinating activity restricted to rabbit erythrocytes is calcium-dependent, relatively heat-stable, and strongly inhibited by the L(−) configuration of both arabinose and xylose. This hemagglutinin, purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, was a single molecular species of over 200 kDa. Experimental evidence suggests that the present protein is not involved in the sperm–egg interaction or in the protection of semen from bacterial growth.
