RESUMO

Specific antisera were generated for major size classes of Drosophila chorion proteins. These antisera were used in conjunction with cell-free translation of follicular RNA to identify precursors, containing signal peptides, for chorion components A1, A2, B1, and B2. An additional precursor cross-reacts with anti-B antisera, although its product appears to correspond to a protein distinct from authenic B proteins. The size classes of mRNA encoding A and B protein precursors have been identified by cell-free translations.
