(LOUSY ABSTR) *TEXT; FOR RELAXING USED 10\% ETOH WHICH WORKED WELL; CHLORETONE LETHAL OR NONEFFECTIVE, MS222 ONLY WORKED AFTER 17 HOURS. SKIN TRANSPLANTS DID NOT TAKE, EITHER HOMO OR AUTO - FELL OFF TENTACLE TRANSPLANTS; INSERTED INTO COELOM \& ENCAPSULATED; COMMON IMMUNE RESPONSE IN INVERTS. BOTH HOMO \& AUTO SAME RESPONSE; ENCAPSULATED TENTS STAYED VIABLE FOR UP TO 70 DAYS, SEVERED, ISOLATED TENTS DIED AFTER 28 DAYS ON AVER. OTHER STUFF INSERTED AND ENCAPS TOO E.G. CELLULOSE, SPONGE, ANEMONE TENTS - LATTER PARTLY DIGESTED AFTER 5 DAYS. **URNS NOT PRESENT IN THIS SPECIES** ?DO I BELIEVE THIS? TALKED ABOUT PHAGOCYTOSIS - LARGE NUMBERS OF EOSINOPHIL-LIKE WHITE CELLS / AMOEBOID \& PHAGOCYTIC... COULD NOT DEMONSTRATE SPECIFIC AGGLUTININS, LYSINS OR PRECIPITINS... THEREFORE T.Z. LACKS ABILITY TO MAKE ANTIBODY LIKE SUBSTANCES IN RESPONSE TO SPECIFIC ANTIGENS. CAPSULE FORMED FROM HOST HEMOCYTES.},
