| Sumario: | The American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is arguably the most convenient source for large quantities of blood of any invertebrate. The blood is simple in composition, with only one cell-type in the general circulation, the granular amebocyte, and only three abundant proteins in the plasma, hemocyanin, the C-reactive proteins, and Ü2-macroglobulin. Blood is collected from the heart and the blood cells and plasma are separated by centrifugation. |
