Protein antigens accumulated in the oocytenucleus of Xenopus spp. are found later in all nuclei of the embryo. During and after organogenesis, the fate of different nuclear antigens diverges: Some are permanently expressed in all nuclei, some are no longer detectable in any nuclei, and some show a high degree of specificity relative to cell type. Of the class of antigens permanently expressed in all cells, a nucleolar antigen has been studied that is relatively enriched in the gonia of both sexes. A possible correlations of its occurrence with ribosomal DNA amplification and transcription is examined. The cell-specific expression of 4 antigens has been analyzed in detail, using indirect immunofluorescent staining methods as well as conventional histology. The tissue-specificity of 2 of these antigens does not change during metamorphosis, whereas the pattern of others is dynamic until after metamorphosis. We conclude that the observed tissue-specificity does not correlate with descendence from one of the 3 primary germ layers: Some antigens appear to accumulate in the nucleus when a cell takes up its specific function.
