Phenoloxidase and cytotoxicity in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1998 The vacuoles of morula cells (MC) of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri contain phenoloxidase (PO). As the release of their vacuolar content at the border of incompatible contacting colonies is associated with the formation of necrotic masses which characterize the rejection reaction, the role of PO in Botryllus cytotoxicity was investigated ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUD IN BOTRYLLUS
The Biological Bulletin, 1941 The bud arises as a disc-like thickening of the anterior atrial wall, consisting of a small number of columnar cells transformed from the atrial epithelium, overlain by an equivalent area of unmodified epidermis. The polarity of the disc and subsequent organism is an extension of that of the parental tissue, with regard both to the antero-posterior and
