Ancient Origins of Vertebrate-Specific Innate Antiviral Immunity
Animals deploy various molecular sensors to detect pathogen infections. RIG-like receptor (RLR) proteins identify viral RNAs and initiate innate immune responses. The three human RLRs recognize different types of RNA molecules and protect against different viral pathogens. The RLR protein family is widely thought to have originated shortly before the emergence of vertebrates and rapidly diversi...
متن کاملAnthony De Tomaso: Finding the origins of adaptive immunity
The adaptive immune system in vertebrates seems to have come out of nowhere; B and T cells and mechanisms used to recognize and remember specific pathogens are missing in species that are only a step below vertebrates on the evolutionary ladder. Anthony De Tomaso is trying to figure out this puzzle, immunol-ogy's version of the big bang, using what he calls " the swing species between vertebrat...
متن کاملVertebrate Adaptive Immunity—Comparative Insights from a Teleost Model
The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and the ciliated protozoan parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis are used to study pathogen-specific protective immunity. In this review, we briefly describe this host-parasite system and discuss the comparative insights it provides on the adaptive immune response of vertebrates. We include studies related to cutaneous mucosal immunity, B cell memory re...
متن کاملEvolution of Vertebrate Immunity
All multicellular organisms protect themselves against pathogens using sophisticated immune defenses. Functionally interconnected humoral and cellular facilities maintain immune homeostasis in the absence of overt infection and regulate the initiation and termination of immune responses directed against pathogens. Immune responses of invertebrates, such as flies, are innate and usually stereoty...
متن کاملOrigins of the Vertebrate Erythro/Megakaryocytic System
Vertebrate erythrocytes and thrombocytes arise from the common bipotent thrombocytic-erythroid progenitors (TEPs). Even though nonmammalian erythrocytes and thrombocytes are phenotypically very similar to each other, mammalian species have developed some key evolutionary improvements in the process of erythroid and thrombocytic differentiation, such as erythroid enucleation, megakaryocyte endor...
