Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Functional Assays Underline the Dual Role of Extrapallial Hemocytes in Immunity and Biomineralization in the Hard Clam Mercenaria mercenaria

Circulating hemocytes in the hemolymph represent the backbone of innate immunity in bivalves. Hemocytes are also found in the extrapallial fluid (EPF), the space delimited between the shell and the mantle, which is the site of shell biomineralization. This study investigated the transcriptome, prote...
