## Abstract Coelomocyteβmediated nonspecific cell cytotoxic activity against human and murine target cells by the purple sea urchin __Arbacia punctulata__ was investigated in vitro. Cytotoxic activity toward target cells was shown to be mediated by different coelomocyte populations isolated by disc
At fertilization, the dormant sperm nucleus undergoes morphological and biochemical transformations leading to the development of a functional male pronucleus. We have investigated the formation of the male pronucleus in a cell-free system consisting of permeabilized sea urchin sperm nuclei incubate
Rabbit antisera to homogenates of unfertilized sea urchin eggs were absorbed with pluteus extract. In the same way, antisera to gastrulae or plutei were also made. "stage specific" by absorption with extracts of eggs. When tested by means of immunoelectrophoresis the absorbed sera formed precipitate
To obtain information on the remodeling of sperm chromatin during male pronuclei formation, we have followed the sperm specific histones (SpH) that form the nucleosomal core by Western imunoblot analysis with policlonal antibodies directed against the core SpH. The results obtained indicate that the
