Abstract
Fat body from previously immunized diapausing pupae of the silkmoth, Hyalophora cecropia (Saturniidae), incubated in vitro, released antibacterial activity into the medium and incorporated 3H-leucine into the immunity proteins P1-P9. The release of antibacterial activity from fat body was also induced to some extent by injection of Ringer solution and, after 20 h in culture, by the injury of dissection.
