Cytochemistry of sperm histones in three cartilaginous fish

The sperm histones of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), the longnose skate (Raja rhina), and the ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei) fall into the mouse/grasshopper class, designated by Bloch (1969) according to a variety of cytochemical criteria. The implications of this finding for sperm-histone fun...

Description
Summary:The sperm histones of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), the longnose skate (Raja rhina), and the ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei) fall into the mouse/grasshopper class, designated by Bloch (1969) according to a variety of cytochemical criteria. The implications of this finding for sperm-histone function and evolution are discussed.
