“…They are composed of many subunits of different masses and affinities that widen the spectrum of monosaccharides capable of binding to them. Moreover, lectins are also composed of identical subunits which bind to different monosaccharides ( 57 ). Hemolymph from Modiolus contains three types of subunits, while Anadara granosa contains two subunit types ( 56 ).…”

In invertebrates, the innate immune system protects against a wide range of microbiological infections. Several immunological processes are involved in the interactive immune response between snails and their parasites, including phagocytosis, nitric oxide synthesis, phenol oxidase activity, lysozymes, and lectin formation. The immunological responses connected to the interaction between snails and parasites are discussed in detail in the current research. Understanding the nature of these interactive reactions will enable scientists to explore approaches to eliminate and cure parasitic infections.

“…Conversely, in gastropods, the sequence diversity is limited, and it seems to be compensated by somatic diversification, as a great number of somatic mutations have been reported ( 20 ). At the level of effector mechanisms, it has been suggested that the rate of phagocytosis in gastropods depends on the concentration of plasma lectins, as opposed to bivalves, where opsonization is triggered by membrane-bound lectins ( 21 , 22 ). The development of different phagocytosis-inducing strategies (agglutination mediated by membrane lectins vs. opsonization mediated by soluble lectins) could be an adaptation to different environments (terrestrial vs. freshwater vs. marine) and to the environment-associated microbiota and pathobiota ( 20 ).…”

Innate Immune Memory in Invertebrate Metazoans: A Critical Appraisal

et al. 2018

The ability of developing immunological memory, a characteristic feature of adaptive immunity, is clearly present also in innate immune responses. In fact, it is well known that plants and invertebrate metazoans, which only have an innate immune system, can mount a faster and more effective response upon re-exposure to a stimulus. Evidence of immune memory in invertebrates comes from studies in infection immunity, natural transplantation immunity, individual, and transgenerational immune priming. These studies strongly suggest that environment and lifestyle take part in the development of immunological memory. However, in several instances the formal correlation between the phenomenon of immune memory and molecular and functional immune parameters is still missing. In this review, we have critically examined the cellular and humoral aspects of the invertebrate immune memory responses. In particular, we have focused our analysis on studies that have addressed immune memory in the most restrictive meaning of the term, i.e., the response to a challenge of a quiescent immune system that has been primed in the past. These studies highlight the central role of an increase in the number of immune cells and of their epigenetic re-programming in the establishment of sensu stricto immune memory in invertebrates.
