title: Endoenzymes associated with haemocyte types in the scallop (Chlamys farreri).
abstract: Haemocyte types of the scallop (Chlamys farreri) were identified by Giemsa stain and flow cytometry (FCM). Additionally, the activities of peroxidase (POD), phenoloxidase (PO) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in haemocytes were analysed by immunocytochemical and biochemical methods. The results indicate that there were two types of haemocytes in the scallop, hyalinocytes and granulocytes, and that POD, PO and ALP were more abundant and more active in granulocytes than in hyalinocytes.
