Phylogeny, longevity and evolution of adaptive immunity
Original language description
Adaptive immunity is commonly viewed as a unique vertebrate feature. A misleading view on vertebrate longevity compared to non-vertebrate animals together with oversimplification of "invertebrate" phylogeny sometimes serves for justifying the limitationof adaptive immunity exclusively to vertebrates. However, here we emphasise that the borderline for differentiation between "innate" and "adaptive" immunity may be fuzzy and artificial. In invertebrates with a long lifespan some kind of acquired immunitycould exist. We therefore stress that the definition of "adaptivity" of immune response should reflect the system function instead of a certain molecular mechanism adopted. If these altered criteria are considered then several pieces of recent evidenceindicate that the adaptive immunity in animals might have arisen several times independently and in very different forms.
