The reactivity of epithelial cells of digestive tract of 5 species of ascidians against antisera to an adult chicken pepsinogen (ACPg) and to an embryonic chicken pepsinogen (ECPg) was examined by indirect immunofluorescence. Stomach and intestinal epithelial cells were reactive to anti-ECPg antiserum. The localization of reactive cells in the stomach coincided with that of chief cell population which was alkaline phosphatase-positive. The protease activity of ascidian stomach was so weak that we could not conceive that immunoreactive substances possess peptic activity. From the results, it was suggested that the substances fulfill a function different from that of digestive enzyme, and in the course of evolution to vertebrates, the substances acquired the active site in the molecule and came to work as digestive enzyme.
