Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies were obtained against all part of the body of the planarian Dugesia japonica japonica except the nerve cord, though parts of the enteric canal were also non reactive. The effect of a variety of fixatives (acetone, Bouin, formalin) used on planarian tissues prior to screening with antibodies, was assessed.
