Experience using flow cytometry for the evaluation of protective reactions bivalves Modiolus modiolus (LINNAEUS, 1758)
Flow cytometry was used for analysis of circulating hemocytes of bivalvian mollusk Modiolus modiolus. FS/SS and SYTO-16 staining was used. Simultaneously the hemolymph levels of agglutinins and lysins were estimated. None the less five hemocyte populations were found. The dynamics of hemolymph humoral factors were determined.
