Popis: A specific anamnestic response occurs in the sea star, Asterias rubens after in vivo and in vitro stimulation of axial organ cells, with hapten-carrier conjugates. The effect of the mitogenic lectin Con.A on the in vitro production of antibody like factors is studied by means of a haemolytic assay. It appears that Con.A produces a modulating effect on the secondary in vitro response of sea star axial organ cells. I.O-Methyl-α-D-Mannopyranoside inhibits the modulating effect of Con.A in controls. On the other hand it appears clearly that LPS has no action on the synthesis and/or the activity of the “antibody-like” factors secreted by axial organ cells.
