| Abstract: | ABSTRACT. Immunoblotting tests involving cytoskeletal protein arrays and fluorescence microscopical examinations of whole cells using monoclonal antibody 424A8 gave substantially different results in three evolutionary subgroups within the genus Tetrahymena. These responses are described and some implications of the evolutionary divergence indicated in this ciliated protozoan are discussed. |
