Sharks represent our most distant cousins that share our adaptive immune system of immunoglobulins, T cells, and an adaptive response with specificity and memory. The Comparative Immunogenetics Laboratory uses this and other species to learn the immune system\u2019s past and how it can best be used in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
