Ancient origins: complement in invertebrates
... tunicates have collagenous lectins of the type that can activate complement in the absence of antibodies. This suggests that the core components of the complement system evolved before antibodies, which first appear in jawed fish. Key words: C3; collectins; complement; invertebrate immune systems; T ...
