Abstract
In many species, the integrity of the body against bacterial and viral infections is preserved during perinatal life by the development of specialized organs and differentiation of a variety of immunological competent cells together with the temporary acquisition of maternally derived antibodies. The ontogeny of the immune system is a complex process that requires the maturation of many cells with different biological functions and the synthesis of a large number of proteins acting, for example, as ligands, receptors, transport, or lytic molecules.
