Abstract

We compare in the present report the found immune genes in the fifth classes of Echinodermata the Echinids, the Asterids, the Ophuirids, the Crinoïds, and the Holothurids.3 classes show the existence of an IG Kappa gene, a Fc receptor gene a Fab gene. This phenomenon seems linked to the existence, in them, of an axial organ which is considered, in Asterids, as an ancestral lymphoïd organ.

Keywords: Invertebrates, Echinodermata, axial orga IG Kappagene, primitive antibody, receptor gene, coelomic cavity, axial organ, Echinodermata, lymphoid organ, stone canal
