Cells from sea star (Asterias rubens) axial organs stimulated with trinitrophenyl (TNP) or fluoresceinyl-haptened polyacrylamide beads and subsequently stimulated in vitro with the same antigen produced and released a specific antibody-like protein which induced lysis of haptened sheep erythrocytes in the presence of serum complement. The anti-TNP antibody-like protein isolated by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and affinity chromatography exhibited a single precipiting peak after crossed immunoelectrophoresis against rabbit antiserum to partially purified culture supernatant. The anti-TNP antibody-like protein gave a specific affinity precipitate in crossed affino-electrophoresis using a p-nitrobenzoyl-substituted gel. The analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under both reducing and nonreducing conditions evidenced a unique 30-kDa polypeptide chain. According to gel filtration experiments, the molecular weight of the major component isolated by affinity chromatography was about four times higher. Therefore, the antibody-like molecule could be a tetrameric protein devoid of any disulfide bond.
