Abstract

The in vitro uptake and fate of biosynthetically labelled haemolymph proteins in the male accessory reproductive gland secretion has been investigated. 20-Hydroxyecdysone stimulates the uptake and secretion of larval haemolymph proteins while juvenile hormone I inhibits the same. Fluorographic results show that the proteins are sequestered and secreted in the intact form. This process of sequestration and secretion is also confirmed by autoradiography and immunohistochemistry in the accessory glands from 5 to 6-day-old pupae and 8–10-h-old adults.
