Evolutionary implications of a third lymphocyte lineage in lampreys

Jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes) and jawless vertebrates (cyclostomes) have different adaptive immune systems(1,2). Gnathostomes use T- and B-cell antigen receptors belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily(3,4). Cyclostomes, the lampreys and hagfish, instead use leucine-rich repeat proteins to co...
