Abstract
AbstractThe serum proteins of two genera of Galapagos iguanas were studied by means of immunochemical and electrophoretic methods. The albumin‐like fraction of the serum of the Galapagos land iguana, genus Conolophus, demonstrated greater anodal mobility than the albumin of Amblyrhynchus, the Galapagos marine iguana. The marine reptile was shown to possess four antigenic serum components not found in the land reptile. Double‐diffusion analysis, using rabbit antiserum to the serum of Amblyrhynchus cristatus (Santa Cruz Island), indicated taht the antigenic profile of the Santa Cruz, Hood, Tower, Albemarle and James Island populations of Amblyrhynchus were identical when the eliciting immunogen is the serum of the Santa Cruz marine iguana.
