Abstract
The antigenic composition of 4 sea urchin species was examined by double diffusion in agar. At least 1 common antigenic determinant was found in both gametes of all the 4 species. In all eggs one and in all sperms another common "sex specific" antigenic determinant was established. In spite of the great number of antigenic determinants in each extract, the existence of "species specific" determinants, common to sperms and eggs of 1 species, could not be determined with certainty.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
