Evolutionary plasticity of insect immunity
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2013Many insect genomes have been sequenced and the innate immune responses of several species have been studied by transcriptomics, inviting the comparative analysis of immunity-related genes. Such studies have demonstrated significant evolutionary plasticity, with the emergence of novel proteins and protein domains correlated with insects adapting to ...

Injury or injection of live bacteria into third instar larvae of the dipteran insect Phormia terranovae results in the appearance in the haemolymph of at least five groups of heat‐stable, more or less basic peptides with antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli . Three of these peptides have been purified.

Insect Lectins and Innate Immunity
2001Proteins capable of recognizing carbohydrates are called lectins. Lectins are widely distributed in the animal as well as the plant kingdom and function in various ways. Lectins are assumed to play roles in mediating cellular and cell-substate interactions during development and immune reactions.

Insect Hemolymph Immune Complexes
2020Insects possess powerful immune systems that have evolved to defend against wounding and environmental pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and parasitoids. This surprising sophistication is accomplished through the activation of multiple immune pathways comprised of a large array of components, many of which have been identified and studied ...

Injections of low doses of bacteria into larvae of Phormia terranovae induce the appearance of potent bactericidal peptides in the blood, among which predominate the anti-Gram positive insect defensins and the anti-Gram negative diptericins. Insect defensins show significant homologies to mammalian (including human) microbicidal peptides present in ...
