Invertebrate Lectins: Biochemical Heterogeneity as a Possible Key to Their Biological Function

  • Conference paper
Immunity in Invertebrates

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

The molecular basis for discrimination between self and non-self, a crucial distinction at all levels of organization of living matter, remains one of the intriguing puzzles of immunobiology. In order to survive, all animals have evolved some kind of response to recognize and eliminate non-self without destroying self. The first cell to appear that was specialized for use in host defense was the mononuclear phagocytic cell. The amoebocytes, coelomocytes, or hemocytes of invertebrates are believed to be ancestors of the monocyte/macrophage system found in higher vertebrates and man. Phagocytosis is a fundamental attribute of many cells, and is particularly important for a vast number of invertebrates, since the process is related to nutrition and excretion as well as to defense[25].
