Abstract
The objective of this essay is to consider functions of the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex (MHC), especially in comparison to allorecognition in colonial tunicates. Elsewhere Burnet (1971), and our group (Scofield et al. 1982b) have provided some theoretical and experimental bases for making such a comparison.
