An evolutionary model for the insect vitellins
Abstract
Insects can be divided into three groups based on the sizes of the polypeptide constituents of their vitellogenins and vitellins. In order to determine the relationships between these groups, antisera to the vitellins of seven insects from six taxonomic orders were used to assess immunological cross-reactivity. Antigenic relatedness was observed only between vitellins from species within the same family. Amino acid compositional data for …
