N2 - Ascidians belong to the subphylum Tunicata, which is one of the most ancient groups of chordates. A characteristic feature of these animals is their integument – tunica. Tunica is composed of polysaccharides and proteins sclerotized by quinon tanning. Sclerotization process is executed by means of phenoloxidase (PO) system (Chaga, Solovey, 1986), which is also involved in animal defense (Smith, 1996) and allorecognition (Akita, Hoshi, 1995). Components of phenoloxidase system, such as phenoloxidase, polyphenolic compounds, cationic proteins, are localized in morular blood cells (Smith, 1970). Two major proteins p48 and p26 kDa expressed in morular cells of Styela rustica were shown to participate in tunic repair. They are supposed to be the part of phenoloxidase system (Podgornaya, Shaposhnikova, 1998). Specific antibodies raised against p48 and p28 also stain granules inside test cells, surrounding oocytes of S. rustica. Ascidians’ oocytes are surrounded by both test and morular cells.
