New immune systems: pathogen-specific host defence, life history strategies and hypervariable immune-response genes of invertebrates
Our understanding of invertebrate immune systems is undergoing a paradigm shift. Until recently, the host defence responses of invertebrates were thought to rely on limited molecular diversity that could not tailor reactions toward specific microbes. This view is now being challenged. Highly discrim...
