abstract = {Specific immune responses occur in an invertebrate: The sea star Asterias rubens. Sea star T and B lymphocytes are present in the axial organ and coopere with phagocytes and Complement components to produce a primitive antibody correlated to Igkappa genes and to complement genes: It could be composed of 4 kappa chains and present strong and highly significant  homologies  to Mouse IgKappa region V-IV S107B precursor gene.},
