Original Source: Defensins in innate immunity.
The innate immune system is the first line of defense against many common microorganisms, which can initiate adaptive immune responses to provide increased protection against subsequent re-infection by the same pathogen. As a major family of antimicrobial peptides, defensins are widely expressed in a variety of epithelial cells and sometimes in leukocytes, playing an important role in the innate immune system due to their antimicrobial, chemotactic and regulatory activities. This review introduces their str...

Knowing your friends: invertebrate innate immunity fosters beneficial bacterial symbioses
Invertebrates lack conventional antibody-based immunity but have the capacity to distinguish between symbionts and pathogens. In this Review, Nyholm and Graf describe how the innate immune system of f...
