## Abstract In teleosts, several autoantigens, soโcalled spermโspecific antigens, are expressed on the germ cell surface during spermiogenesis and are thought to have spermโspecific functions. To investigate the functions of the autoantigens in Nile tilapia, __Oreochromis niloticus__, monoclonal an
Fully inbred clonal lines of fish are likely to be of great value in research on immunology, sex determination, quantitative genetics, and toxicology. In this study on the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), gynogenesis or androgenesis were used to produce a first generation of completely inbred f
## Summary Cytochrome P450โaromatase enzyme (CYP19), which catalyses the conversion of androgens to oestrogens, is critical in ovarian differentiation and hence in the sex differentiation pathways of nonโmammalian vertebrates. As in other fish species, distinct ovarian and brain aromatase genes hav
We previously produced four monoclonal antibodies to testicular proteins of a teleost, the Nile tilapia. One of the monoclonal antibodies, TAT(Testicular Antigen of Tilapia)-10, recognizes a Mr=27,000 protein (27 kD protein), which is present in A and early B type spermatogonia, spermatids, and sper
