متن کاملHemocytes of the carpet shell clam ( Ruditapes decussatus) and the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum): Current knowledge and future prospects
Hemocytes are the immune effectors in clams, directing cellular but also humoral defences. In the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) and the carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus), two phenotypically similar venerid species, fishery and aquaculture importance motivated scientific studies to improve knowledge about the participation of hemocytes in immune response. Currently, gaps still per...
