title: Immunological evidence for an ACTH-like antigen in the nervous ganglion of a protochordate Ciona intestinalis (Ascidiacea).
abstract: Nervous fibers and neurons containing an ACTH-like antigen could be demonstrated in the nervous ganglion of a Protochordate Ciona intestinalis, using indirect immunofluorescence and anti (17-39)-ACTH and anti (25-39)-ACTH antisera.
