Synonyms |
D17 cell |
|
Definitions |
D17 cells were originally isolated from cultures of dissected imaginal discs29 of Drosophila melanogaster. Despite their epithelial origin, D17 cells exhibit a gene-expression profile that is consistent with that of Drosophila haemocytes. Similarly to haemocytes, D17 cells spontaneously polarize in culture, assemble an exaggerated leading edge and exhibit robust cell motility. |
