Allorecognition in urochordates: identification of a highly variable complement receptor-like protein expressed in follicle cells of Ciona.

Developmental and comparative immunology - 1 Jan 2007

Kürn Ulrich, Sommer Felix, Hemmrich Georg, Bosch Thomas C G, Khalturin Konstantin

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary origin of allorecognition in vertebrates is unknown. Urochordates, being the closest living relatives of vertebrates [Delsuc F, Brinkmann H, Chourrout D, Philippe H]. Tunicates and not cephalochordates are the closest living relatives of vertebrates. Nature 2006; 439: 965-8], have efficient mechanisms to prevent both allogeneic fusion and self fertilization. To shed light on allorecognition in...
