    • Female sea urchins store the major yolk protein (MYP) in ovarian nutritive phagocytes before vitellogenesis. Using immunological procedures, we detected MYP in the testicular nutritive phagocytes of Pseudocentrotus depressus, the red sea urchin, and then compared the distribution of MYP between sexes during gametogenesis. MYP was purified from unfertilized eggs by ion exchange chromatography (Q Sepharose) and gel filtration (Superdex 200), and an antiserum (anti-MYP) was raised against MYP… CONTINUE READING
