The Role of Mesohyl Cells in Sponge Allograft Rejections

  • Chapter
Invertebrate Historecognition

Part of the book series: Bodega Marine Laboratory Marine Science Series ((BMSS))

Abstract

H. V. Wilson, in 1907, attempted and failed to produce chimeric sponges from xenogeneic (different species) mixtures of dissociated sponge cells. His failed experiment, however, initiated an interest in cellular recognition and interaction that has continued to the present. Studies on cell communication have expanded to involve many types of cells from organisms of all kinds, while interest in sponge cell recognition and aggregation has endured. More recent work has elucidated the reactions of intact sponges to naturally and artificially transplanted allogeneic (same species) tissues, and some initial information on cell function that is important in these reactions has been reported. In this chapter, I will review the current knowledge about the involvement of sponge cells in allograft rejections as studied in whole, intact sponges, and about the relationships between cell aggregation and allogeneic reactions as studied in vitro, using allogeneic mixtures of dissociated cells. Analyses and discussions of various sponge species will be mainly limited to data that include identification of the cells involved.
