Phylogenetic Perspectives in Immunity: The Insect Host Defense (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)
Phylogenetic Perspectives in Immunity The Insect Host Defense - Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit Author:Jules A. Hoffmann, Charles A., Jr. Janeway, Shunji Natori The potent immune response of insects shares many of the characteristics of the mammalian acute phase response. This book discusses developments in the field of first line defence (antibody immunity). These developments focus on: the recognition of non-self; control of gene expression; and structures and activities of the induced molecules.
