Riboflavin storage in earthworm chloragocytes/eleocytes in an eco-immunology perspective
Earthworm immune-competent cells, celomocytes, are easily retrieved for ex vivo analyses. Celomocytes consist of amebocytes and species-specific numbers of chloragocyte-derived eleocytes, the latter accumulating free riboflavin in their chloragosome inclusions. Autofluorescent eleocytes are abundant...
