title: Changes in the immune system during metamorphosis of Xenopus.
abstract: 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.
