Abstract: 
Cytobiological experiments using isotopic- and cytochemical-labeled Sepia hemocyanin as well as immunocytochemical localization of the respiratory pigment were carried out to investigate the function of the hemocytes in hernocyanin metabolism of the common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis. For comparison, the rhogocytes (ovoid cells) of the branchial heart complex were included in this study. Hemocyanin molecules were immunocytochemically detected in the lysosomal compartment of the rhogocytes and, at lower levels, in adhesive and circulating hemocytes. I-125-labeled Sepia hemocyanin was taken up by the rhogocytes only, whereas gold-and/or fluorescein-labeled Sepia hemocyanin was solely taken up by the adhesive and the circulating hemocytes, even though the level of uptake is different. There are also differences in the uptake of pure gold particles and/or fluorescein between rhogocytes and hemocytes. These findings give evidence that circulating and adhesive hemocytes of the branchial heart complex are not involved in hemocyanin turnover, but are a component of the cellular defense and detoxification system of adult coleoid cephalopods.
