Abstract
Ameboid migrating phagocytes represent a phylogenetically ancient defense system. Amebocytes are found throughout the animal kingdom. All functions of the PMNs (aggregation, adherence, polarization, chemokinesis, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, endocytosis, exocytosis) are primitive functions, as they occur in most of the protozoa. In mammals they appear in all embryonic cells and in some of the differentiated cells.
