I was also allowed to talk with them, and they were amazed that anyone had a conscience. They were absolutely ignorant of what conscience is.

For <i>Mytilus</i> and <i>Mercenaria</i>, the adsorptions of the anti-mucus antibodies on the powders proved to be efficient, as this treatment reduced the reactivities with the SMs by 80% and 90%, respectively. However, when the adsorbed antibodies were tested against the respective <b>muci</b>, up to 30% and 40%, respectively, of the original reactivity had been removed. All the adsorptions were sufficiently specific, as they did not affect the reactivity between an admixed “unreactive” antiserum and its antigen. / These results show that striking similarities exist between the <b>muci</b> and the SMs in each one of the three species. These materials are by no means identical, however. The adsorption experiments suggest that in <i>Mytilus</i> and <i>Mercenaria</i> about one-third to one-half of the determinants of the <b>muci</b> are also present in the SMs, whereas the other part is unique to the <b>muci</b>. / Characterization of Antigenic Determinants.

There was also some evidence that a partial homology existed between the water-soluble matrices and the <b>muci</b> in the three investigated species, which supported the hypothesis that the calcifying machinery of the Metazoa is derived – at least in part – from anti-calcifying molecules of the excretory systems. This homology might be the result of a convergent evolution of mucins and organic matrix proteins towards a similar objective – that is, to avoid uncontrolled calcium carbonate precipitation. However, this cannot be generalized to all corals since the results obtained by Puverel et al. [57] with antibodies against the organic matrix of the coral <i>stylophora pistillata</i> were not in agreement with this hypothesis, as no labeling of the oral ectodermal cells producing mucus was observed.</span></div></dd></dl></div></li> <li><div class="citation-whole"><span class="cited-source"><span class="None" lang="und"><b>2014</b></span> May, Stéphane La Barre, “Chapter 4: Marine Biodiversity and Chemodiversity — The Treasure Troves of the Future”, in Oscar Grillo, editor, <cite>Biodiversity - The Dynamic Balance of the Planet</cite>, InTech Open, <small><a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/9535113151" title="Special:BookSources/9535113151">→ISBN</a></small>, “4.
