Fungal Elicitors of Invertebrate Cell Defense System

  • Chapter
Fungal Antigens

Abstract

Arthropods, lacking the true immunoglobulin and T-type lymphocyte system characteristic of vertebrates, possess an array of defense systems which protect them against fungal attack. Whether common defense mechanisms are possessed by the arthropod group is unclear. The defensive needs of this diverse group of organisms are extremely variable. To date, the immune responses of a relatively few species has been examined in detail. Both cellular and/or humoral (non-cellular, inducible antimicrobial substances) responses have been reported to be elicited in arthropods when challenged with pathogenic organisms. In light of the available data, considering such responses to be primitive precursors to the vertebrate recognition systems is speculative. However, the defense systems possessed by arthropods have been sufficient to insure the continued survival of this ancient and diverse group of animals.
