In bivalves, how many percentage of cell membrane proteins are related to immune functional ?

10 October 2016 1 2K Report

I want to study more about immune system of Mollusk, because they do not have clotting property in their body circulation when they get injured or wounded.

Steingrimur Stefansson

Hi Sakthi, I think this is a worthwhile project to look at the evolution of immune systems.

As far as I know, blood clotting and immune cells were first observed in horseshoe crabs. Maybe you should read up on Virchow.

He poked animal tissues with small needles and observed cells migrating toward the wound and coating the needles..
