Abstract
Offspring generations of Tetrahymena pretreated (imprinted) with insulin showed a greater binding capacity for the hormone than offspring of untreated ones. The epidermal growth factor (EGF) imprinted for insulin to a greater degree than insulin itself, and vice versa: insulin imprinted for EGF more efficiently than EGF itself. These phenomena can be explained by the overlap of insulin and EGF on one another's receptors in Tetrahymena.Entities:
