title: The urea-soluble low molecular weight cuticle proteins from the different developmental stages of Dacus oleae.
abstract: The cuticle proteins of the insect Dacus oleae have been isolated by extraction with a solution of 7 M urea. The affinity properties of cuticle proteins, isolated from the third instar larvae (L3DCPs 1-7), to chitin have been studied. Purified cuticle antigens were polymerized by glutaraldehyde and used for raising antibodies. The developmental appearance of the cuticle proteins has been studied by two-dimensional electrophoresis.
