Abstract
We show in this review that there is a continuum between the chicken B-cell system classified as the first GALT model described and the human B-cell system. We propose that humans have conserved for one B-cell subpopulation, the marginal zone B-cell subset in charge of T-independent responses, the strategies of diversification used by GALT species to generate their pre-immune repertoire.Entities:
