Abstract
In this article, Courtney Smith and Eric Davidson reinterpret the published data on immune function in lower deuterostomes and primitive chordates. It leads them to a new model of immune system phylogeny in which MHC-directed T-cell responses are the last to evolve and are not derived from subchordate self-nonself recognition systems.Entities:
