The purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, possesses a non-adaptive immune system including elements homologous to C3 and factor B (Bf) of the vertebrate complement system. SpBf is composed of motifs typical of the Bf/C2 protein family. Expression of Sp152 (encodes SpBf) was identified in the phagocyte type of coelomocyte in addition to...
