Abstract
Lysozyme was purified from the annelid wormNephthys hombergii and re-examined for immunological cross-reactivity with antisera to human and chicken lysozymes. It was determined that the previously reported reaction between worm lysozyme and anti-human lysozyme and also the presently observed reaction between worm lysozyme and anti-chicken lysozyme were due to the presence of small amounts of vertebrate-likec-type lysozymes in the worm enzyme preparations. The cross-reactions were not attributable to the major lysozyme component in the worm preparations.
