Anti-symbionin antiserum was obtained by injecting symbionin purified from pea aphids into a rabbit. On immunoblotting, in addition to symbionin many smaller proteins cross-reacted with the antiserum suggesting that symbionin in the aphid tissue is prone to degradation. When estimated by immunoblotting with anti-symbionin antiserum, the symbionin content per unit wet weight of both symbiotic and aposymbiotic aphids was shown to decrease with age. Five distinct aphid species were shown to share a protein class related to symbionin in terms of molecular mass and immunogenicity. Immuno-histochemistry of aphid tissues with anti-symbionin antiserum indicated that symbionin is localized exclusively within the mycetocyte harboring the primary symbionts.
