The mollusc as a suitable model for mammalian immune-neuroendocrine

The same or relatively similar molecules seen in molluscan defense responses are also found inmammals, where their functions remain basically similar. The mollusc immunocytes are able torecognize a variety of stimuli and to set up correspondingly complex responses, in which primitive, butvery effici...
