| Abstract: | The presence of rhodopsin-like protein was detected in the head of the freshwater planarian Dugesia japonica japonica Ichikawa et Kawakatsu by use of anti-frog-rhodopsin rabbit IgG. Two membrane proteins of molecular weights 65000 and 62000 were separated by sodium-dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and found to react with the anti-rhodopsin IgG. The antibody may be useful for monitoring regeneration of the planarian eye. |
