| Abstract: | A polyclonal antiserum and monoclonal antibodies have been prepared to purified pollen exines of Calocedrus decurrens Florin. The location of the antigen is in the exine, as shown by light-and electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry. The greatest reduction in antibody binding follows treatment of the exine with chemicals known to alter sporopollenin. These results provide evidence that sporopollenin is antigenic. Exines of ten species of gymnosperms and angiosperms also bound the polyclonal antiserum, indicating similarity of sporopollenin structure. |
