Gender differences in the immune system activities of sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus [PDF]
, 2013 In the immune system of vertebrates, gender-specific differences in individual immune competence are well known. In general, females possess more powerful immune response than males. In invertebrates, the situation is much less clear. For this purpose we
