Relationships between innate immunity in bivalve molluscs and environmental pollution

Relationships between innate immunity in bivalve molluscs and environmental pollution

Show other versions (1)

The immune system of invertebrates, such as molluscs consists of innate mechanisms very effective against antigens commonly present in the environment. However, these defense strategies could be altered by pollutants. This review is focused mainly on the effect of metals, PCB, pesticides, PAHs, and...
