Plasma cells in adult Atlantic hagfish, Myxine glutinosa
Abstract:
Hagfishes, the most primitive vertebrates, are of special interest for the evolution of immune responses. Eptatretus stoutii, the Pacific hagfish, is able to mount cellular and humoral immune responses but all attempts to demonstrate in them the presence of plasma cells have failed. In the present study we demonstrate for the first time plasma cells identifiable by ultrastructural criteria in the pronephros, a primitive lymphohaemopoietic organ, of Myxine glutinosa, the Atlantic hagfish.
