primary lobe of embryonic/larval lymph gland [FBbt_00001669]
primary lobe of embryonic/larval lymph gland
ID: FBbt_00001669
Anterior-most and largest of the 3-6 lobe pairs of the third instar embryonic/larval lymph gland. These lobes are bulbous. Three distinct zones are identified: the medullary zone in the center, the cortical zone in the periphery and the posterior signaling center. At the late third instar the posterior signaling center functions as a stem-cell niche, the medullary zone contains quiescent prohemocytes, and the cortical zone the proliferating hemocytes (plasmatocytes) and procrystal and crystal cells. (Jung et al., 2005, Owusu-Ansah and Banerjee, 2009, Ferguson and Martinez-Agosto, 2014, Shrestha and Gateff, 1982)
