Mast cells and IgE in defense against lethality of venoms: Possible “benefit” of allergy
, 2020 peer reviewedPhysicians think of mast cells and IgE primarily in the context of allergic disorders, including fatal anaphylaxis. This 'bad side' of mast cells and IgE is so well accepted that it can be difficult to think of them in other contexts ...

Antimicrobial and cytolytic peptides of venomous arthropods [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2003 As a response to invading microorganisms, the innate immune system of arthropods has evolved a complex arrangement of constitutive and inducible antimicrobial peptides that immediately destroy a large variety of pathogens. At the same time, venomous arthropods have developed an additional offensive system in their venom glands to subdue their prey ...
