Abstract

The presence of PDGF receptor-alpha- and -beta- and TGF-beta-receptor (type II)-like molecules on the plasma membranes of the immunocytes of the mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis was demonstrated by an immunocytochemical procedure. Furthermore, the present study provides evidence that PDGF-AB and TGF-beta1 provoke cell shape changes in immunocytes via interactions with the respective receptors and that these extracellular signals are transduced along the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.
