Summary

A study was made of the effect produced by tissue fluid from a nudibranch mollusc (Aeolidia papillosa) on the course of individual development of the same species. Normal antibodies capable of reacting with the the antigens of the tissue of Aeolidia embryos and larvae were found in the tissue fluid of the adult molluscs. Tissue fluid containing these antibodies inhibited subsequent development of the embryos taken at the stage of cleavage, blastula, and larvae. The results of the tissue fluid effect were compared with those of the action of immune antibodies against the mollusc tissue on the course of the development of the larvae. An attempt has been made to explain the data in terms of the theory of primary immunological reactivity.
