Variable Lymphocyte Receptors: A Current Overview.

Results and problems in cell differentiation - 1 Jan 2015

Kasahara Masanori

Abstract excerpt

Jawless vertebrates represented by lampreys and hagfish mount antigen-specific immune responses using variable lymphocyte receptors. These receptors generate diversity comparable to that of T-cell and B-cell receptors by assembling multiple leucine-rich repeat modules with highly variable sequences. Although it is true that jawed and jawless vertebrates have structurally unrelated antigen receptors, their...
