Abstract
Immunocompetence is first evident at the invertebrate level in coelenterates. Primordial cell-mediated immunity revealed by specific allograft reactions with at least short term memory is demonstrable in advanced invertebrates, whereas integrated cell-mediated and humoral immunity evolved progressively with the vertebrates.
