Bursal and Thymic Alloantigen Expression in Lymphoid Tissues of the Chicken

  • Chapter
Immunologic Phylogeny

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 64))

Abstract

Aves represent that point on the evolutionary tree where separation of lymphoid tissues into thymus-dependent (T cell) and thymus-independent (B cell) lymphoid systems has been compartmentalized to its fullest. Two primary lymphoid organs control differentiation of immunity in birds — the thymus governs development of lymphocytes primarily mediating cellular immune functions, while the bursa of Fabricius controls the maturation of antibody-forming cells (1, 2). The division into T and B cell systems is not as anatomically distinct in other vertebrates, but studies in a number of species indicate that functionally such compartmentalization does exist (3–6). Thus, although Aves present a unique opportunity for studying the relative contribution of T and B cells to immune functions, knowledge gained in this model system has far wider applicability.
