| Definition | Melanizing hemocyte. It has roughly the same size as a plasmatocyte but is distinguishable by its crystal inclusions of phenoloxidases (encoded by PPO1 and PPO2) that are necessary for the synthesis of melanin as part of the antimicrobial immune reaction (Wood and Jacinto, 2007; Honti et al., 2014; Cattenoz et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0202336 FlyBase:FBrf0223115 FlyBase:FBrf0245988 ] | ||
