Turtle IgD2 preserves an ancestral IgXA-derived XA3-XA4 module in a duplicated and locally remodeled IgD2-IgY constant-region2 array

The paper analyzes turtle IgD2 and IgY constant-region structures to show they preserve an ancestral IgXA-derived XA3-XA4 module in a duplicated and remodeled array.

Characterization of the IGH locus and tissue specific immunoglobulin repertoires in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus).

This study characterizes the IGH locus and tissue-specific immunoglobulin repertoires in turbot, revealing isotype-specific diversity patterns and clonotype sharing between tissues.

Root-level loss of immunoglobulin and B-cell immune genes in clingfishes

The paper examines the loss of immunoglobulin and B-cell immune genes in clingfishes, finding root-level erosion rather than a recent loss, with some immune-related genes retained.

Divergent disulfide bond architecture defines two IgY subclasses in snakes

This study identifies two IgY subclasses in snakes through structural and phylogenetic analysis, revealing divergent disulfide bond architectures and functional constraints.

Evolutionary Divergence and Structural Differentiation of Multiple Immunoglobulin M Genes in Gekkota (Squamata: Reptilia)

This study identifies multiple IgM gene variants in geckos and analyzes their evolutionary origin and functional divergence through sequence and structural comparisons.

Cryopreservation Enables Long-Term Studies of Octopus vulgaris Hemocyte Immune Functions

This study demonstrates that cryopreserved Octopus vulgaris hemocytes maintain viability above 80% and functional phagocytic ability for at least two months, enabling long-term immune function studies.
