Epithelial origin of starfish coelomocytes

Epithelial origin of starfish coelomocytes

THE various theories proposed to explain the origin of echinoderm coelomocytes can be classified into two groups, depending on whether they refer to a cytopoietic organ or tissue (Tiedemann bodies 1–3 , Polian vesicles 1 , axial organ 1,4 , connective tissue 5,6 and coelomic epithelium 7–9 ) or whet...

Zusammenfassung:THE various theories proposed to explain the origin of echinoderm coelomocytes can be classified into two groups, depending on whether they refer to a cytopoietic organ or tissue (Tiedemann bodies 1–3 , Polian vesicles 1 , axial organ 1,4 , connective tissue 5,6 and coelomic epithelium 7–9 ) or whether they imply self-replication of free cells 9–11 . So far no theory has been confirmed. We now report that in the starfish ( Asterias rubens ) coelomocytes are produced in the coelomic epithelium.
