The interaction of Staphylococcal protein A with free coelomocytes of annelids.
The Staphylococcal protein A (SpA) binding protein was detected on the surface of annelid coelomocytes. The flow cytometric analysis revealed that 50% coelomocytes of Lumbricus terrestris react with SpA, a figure six times higher than the number of positive coelomocytes found in Eisenia foetida.
