The uptake of RHBP (Rhodnius heme-binding protein) by the ovaries of Rhodnius prolixus was characterized. RHBP purified from occyte was labeled with 125I and used to study the process of uptake by the ovary in vivo and in vitro. After injection, the [125I]RHBP was readily removed from the hemolymph
Elimination of vector populations through the use of insecticides is the principal means of controlling Chagas disease. Because of the limitations of insecticide use, we have been developing a new potential method of control, to be used in conjunction with insecticide programs, a method which utiliz
Purified lipophorin, metabolically labelled with 32P exclusively in the phospholipid moiety, was used to study the process of phospholipid delivery to the oocyte. The kinetics of phospholipid transfer "in vitro," from lipophorin to the oocytes, was linear at least up to 4 h and was impaired by low t
