Vitellogenic Blood Protein Synthesis by Insect Fat Body

M. L. Pan 1, William J. Bell 1, and William H. Telfer 1

1 Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19104

The female fat body of a moth and a roach incorporated labeled amino acids in vitro into substances precipitable by antibodies formed in response to the sex-limited vitellogenic blood proteins of these species. The fat body of males failed to do so, as did that of females before the appearance of these proteins in the blood.
