Coomassie Blue-stained native PAGE gel of male hemolymph from Cecropia pupae (lane 1) and M-MtH isolated by elution from the M-MtH band (lane 2). The M- and V-MtH bands were identified by microsequencing their N-terminal amino acids. Beginning with the V-MtH band and reading down, the hexamerin bands occur in the same order as proteins 1 through 4 in Fig. 17A of Tojo et al. (1978). The band near the top of lane 1 contained lipophorin (HDLp) (Telfer et al., 1991).
