本文介绍了有关无脊椎动物凝集素和细胞因子的存在和作用的原则数据。前者已在主要的无脊椎动物类群中描述，如软体动物、环节动物、节肢动物、棘皮动物和被囊动物，而令人信服的证据表明，细胞因子仅存在于昆虫果蝇和Pseudaletia separata以及淡水小龙虾中。凝集素和细胞因子具有趋同和共同的功能，这些信使分子的多重作用之一是参与对抗非我。
The paper presents the principle data regarding the presence and the roles of lectins and cytokines in invertebrates. The former have been described in the main invertebrate taxa, such molluscs, annelids, arthropods, echinoderms and tunicates, while convincing evidence for cytokines was found only in the insects, Drosophila melanogaster and Pseudaletia separata, and the freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. Lectins and cytokines share convergent and common functions, and one of the multiples roles of these messenger molecules is their participation in fighting against non-self.
