This book contains the proceedings of the first meeting on
invertebrate immunity ever sponsored as a summer research
conference by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental
Biology (FASEB). The conference was held in Copper Mountain, CO
from July 11-16, 1999. It was a an extension of a New York Academy
of Sciences meeting entitled "Primordial Immunity: Foundations for
the Vertebrate Immune System" held on May 2-5,1993 at the Marine
Biological Laboratories in Woods Hole, MA. The proceedings of that
meeting were published in The Annals of the New York Academy of
Sciences (volume 712). At that meeting all the attendes agreed that
this type of conference (a relatively small focused gathering)
allowed for participation by investigators at all levels of their
careers. We further agreed that we should search for a forum that
would allow this meeting to continue. The FASEB Summer Research
Conference was an excellent vehicle for this type of meeting.
Furthermore, this year's participants decided to continue this
meeting as a regularly scheduled FASEB sponsored event. This was a
unique conference in the sense that it focused upon mechanisms of
development and defense in protostome and deuterostome
invertebrates and lower vertebrates. There was a strong emphasis on
evolutionary cell biology, phylogenetic inferences and the
evolution of recognition and regulatory systems.
