Metchnikoff in 1882, who discovered phagocytosis while studying starfish larvae. Invertebrate immunology first began to be appre ciated as an important field in the late 1960s and 1970s. However, in the following years there was much controversy regarding the question: do invertebrates offer insight into the origin of the sophisticated immune responses of the vertebrates? There are several reasons why progress in research on invertebrate immune competence has been painfully slow. One of the main impediments to the progress, as compared to the fast development of knowledge in the vertebrate systems, was the fact that most of the studies concentrated on "whole organism" assays, mainly on grafting tissues between allogeneic partners. Only in the last few years have more and more aspects of invertebrate immunity been investigated on the cellular, biochemical and molecular levels. These studies led to discoveries of novel defense reactions, new pathways of effector mechanisms which are elicited after recognition of "nonself‘, and complex, sometimes hig | 出版日期 | Book 1996 | 关键词 | Immunologie; Interverteberates; Marine Biology; Marine Organismen; Marine Organisms; Meeresbiologie; Wirbe | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-79735-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-79737-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-79735-4Series ISSN 0079-6484 Series E-ISSN 2197-8484 | issn_series | 0079-6484 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1996 |
