V(D)J is the basis of the vertebrate immune system. It makes antibodies. All vertebrates have an adaptive immune system. This protects them against many infections and diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. V(D)J is the basic mechanism. The work is done by developing lymphocytes (B cells and T cells). They make the immune system adaptive. What this means is that the body is able to defend against many infections it has never met before, and the defence gets better against repeat attacks from the same agent.  The details are very complex. The system makes sequences of amino acids which bind on to the corresponding sequences of infective agents. The system also recognises "altered self cells" as seen in cancer. Of course all systems have limits, so when the system fails to recognise a pathogen or cancer, we suffer the consequences. In 1987 Susumu Tonegawa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for his discovery of the genetic principle for generation of antibody diversity". The V(D)J refers to the way variable, joining and sometimes diversity regions are produced in the white blood cells. The cells are made in the bone marrow and thymus of vertebrates.
The Sao Paulo leaf frog ("Phyllomedusa distincta") is a frog that lives in Brazil. People have seen it as high as 1000 meters above sea level. This frog lives in forests that have never been cut down and in forests that have grown back. People have seen it on shrubs near water that does not flow. The female frog lays eggs on leaves that are over water that does not dry up. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water below.
