Invertebrate Cytokines and the Phylogeny of Immunity : Facts and Paradoxes /
Based on the assumption that invertebrates as well as vertebrates possess factors regulating hematopoiesis, response to infection or wounding, studies dealing with the evolution of immunity have focused on the isolation and characterization of putative cytokine-related molecules from invertebrates....
