Does the Sea Star Discriminate Bence - Jones protein From RatIGG as Antigens?

Abstract

Immunocompetent cells were described in the sea star Asterina gibbosa: they recognize specifically various antigens as HRP (Horse-radish peroxydase) ,Alkalin phosphatase, trypsin ....On the other hand when certain Asterina gibbosa were immunized with Bence-Jones protein , other ones with Rat IGG: a crossed immune reaction occurs. The potential sea star immune system is not broad enough to detect such antigens.
