title: [Immune response of fishes with respect to phylogenetic aspects].
abstract: The immune response progressed by steps in the phylogeny of animals. The non-specific immune response has been improved by specific immune mechanisms during the early evolution of the organisms. Typical B- and T-cells as well as true antibodies originated first in fishes during the phylogenesis. Fishes possess immune mechanisms which appear to be homologous to those of higher vertebrates.
