Abstract
Tissue transplantation immunity with a specific memory component is demonstrated in populations of Montipora. This highly discriminating immunoreactivity derives from extensive allogeneic polymorphism of histocompatibility (H) markers. An H system of immunorecognition may have originated in multicellular invertebrates probably beginning with coelenterates.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
