Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Adult Expression: coelomocytes; unidentified cells in head; Larval Expression: coelomocytes; Primary Identifier  Expr6891
Remark  Also expressed in (comments from author) : usually see 2 of the 3 coelomocyte pairs, sometimes only one pair, and sometimes none. Strain: BC14121 Reporter Gene  [Y116A8C.3::gfp] transcriptional fusion. PCR products were amplified using primer A: 5' [GCGACAGGCTACATGCCTA] 3' and primer B 5' [ATCCCGGAAATTTTGATAGTGTTA] 3'.

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles. coelomocyte   WBbt:0005751
