| Abstract: | Anti H-Y antiserum, raised in highly inbred Lewis rats, was absorbed with gonadal cells from European eels of both sexes. It was found that rat anti H-Y antiserum cross-reacts with gonadal cells from the eel ovary but not with eel testicular cells. From these results it is suggested that in the European eel, the female is the heterogametic sex. |
