Evolution of innate and adaptive immune systems in jawless vertebrates

Because jawless vertebrates are the most primitive vertebrates, they have been studied to gain understanding of the evolutionary processes that gave rise to the innate and adaptive immune systems in vertebrates. Jawless vertebrates have developed lymphocyte‐like cells that morphologically resemble t...
