From: Crayfish hemocytes develop along the granular cell lineage
The development of transplanted cells can be divided into three stages. In the transplantation experiments, the differentiation and maturation of hemocytes could be roughly separated into three morphological stages (Stage-1, -2, -3) based on light microscopy observations (A). Stage-1, early hemocytes with no/some small granules; Stage-2, cells with some medium size granules; Stage-3, mature cells filled with many large granules. The changes in the proportions of cells in these three stages during the developmental process are shown: (B) HPT cell transplantation; (C) total hemocyte transplantation; (D) SGC transplantation.
