Abstract

Abstract 1. 1. Yolk proteins were isolated from ovaries of the shrimp Penaeus vannamei and used as an antigen for antibody production in rabbits. 2. 2. Protein synthesis was measured for both the hepatopancreas and the ovary in vitro, and proteins present in both tissues were immunoreactive with the antibodies. 3. 3. Extracts of shrimp eyestalks inhibited in vitro protein synthesis by both tissues. The inhibitory factor from the eyestalks was heat stable and had a molecular weight of 3300 daltons.
