Haemocytes secrete basement membrane components in embryonic locusts

Several monoclonal antibodies raised against a glycoprotein-enriched fraction of adult muscle membranes of Locusta migratoria selectively stain particles within haemocytes and basement membrane in developing locust embryos. Haemocytes containing immunoreactive particles are found associated with areas where basement membrane is being laid down. The underlying ectoderm does not show immunoreactivity. We conclude that haemocytes contribute to basement membrane formation in embryonic locusts.
