<em>In vitro</em> temperature dependent activation of T-lymphocytes in Common wall lizards (<em>Podarcis muralis</em>) in response to PHA stimulation

Ecological immunology attempts to explain the variability of immune response among individuals by invoking costs and trade-offs, which may optimize the immune defence against pathogens. In ectotherms body temperature is correlated to that of the surrounding environment, so that their entire physiol...
