title: Isolation and characterization of insect vitellogenin. Its identity with hemolymph lipoprotein II.
abstract: Several years ago, we isolated two major lipoproteins from the pupal hemolymph of the Cynthia silkworm, both of which contained diacylglycerol as a major lipid, and named them lipoproteins I and II. In this paper, we present definite evidence that the vitellogenin (female protein) of this insect is indeed identical with lipoprotein II.
