Profound immunological changes occur as tadpoles metamorphose into adult amphibians. These include the expression of a different antibody repertoire, a lessening of skin graft tolerance, the appearance on leukocytes of class I MHC antigens. Here Martin Flajnik and his colleagues review what is known of these changes in Xenopus and speculate on how they may occur.
当蝌蚪变态发育为成年两栖动物时,会发生深刻的免疫变化。这些变化包括不同抗体库的表达、皮肤移植耐受性的降低、I类主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)抗原在白细胞上的出现。在此,马丁·弗拉伊尼克及其同事回顾了非洲爪蟾中这些变化的已知情况,并推测了它们可能的发生方式。
