description

Abstract Ciona intestinalis reacts to subcuticular injection of corpuscular or soluble antigens producing a capsule around the foreign material. The morphology and the histochemical composition of the injected area was examined. The time sequence of the reaction is characterized by a heightened non-specific secondary response.
