Allorecognition in compound ascidians.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jun 1994

Saito Y, Hirose E, Watanabe H

Abstract excerpt

In botryllids (colonial ascidians), there are two types of allorecognition: colony specificity and colony resorption. Colony specificity is manifested by fusion and rejection between two conspecific colonies. The genetic basis for this colony specificity resides in a single highly polymorphic gene locus (fusibility locus) with codominantly expressed alleles. Two colonies with no alleles in common at this locus...
