Intracardial injection of chicken red blood cells (RBC) into the oyster,Crassostrea virginica, at 15–19°C elicited ingestion, digestion, and removal of the cells by the leukocytes. A rapid response of fibroblastlike cells and characteristic cell aggregates were also detected as early as1hr post-injection. While the former was engaged in an unsuccessful attempt to encapsulate red blood cell laden leukocytes intravascularly, the function of the latter cell type was undetermined. The process of disposing the red blood cells in the oysters under running seawater conditions was not noticeably different from that observed in the oysters under standing water conditions.In oysters previously sensitized with red blood cells, response to a challenge injection was similar to that observed following the first injection, and there was no indication that the activities of the leukocytes were enhanced. However, it was demonstrated that oyster leukocytes remained functionally viable for at least 22 days. There is evidence indicating that the number of the characteristic cell aggregates increases considerably after a secondary injection of red blood cells, although the specificity of this response is yet to be determined.At 6°C, although phagocytosis of the blood cells occurred quite extensively, leukocytes exhibited considerably low digestive and migratory activity which resulted in far less effective disposal of the blood cells. Preliminary observations also revealed possible adhesion of oyster leukocytes to the wall of blood vessels following the inoculation at this temperature.
