Insects have at least three types of barriers to invading foreign matter at the integument, intestine and hemocoel. The hemocoel has several types of bemocytes and is the final barrier to invaders. The granular cells and plasmatocytes called immunocytes play essential roles in insect immunity. The foreign or non-self surface is recognized by the immunocytes, and triggers cellular filopodial elongation in which microfilaments play an indispensable role in phagocytosis. On the other hand, encapsulation and nodule formation involve cooperation between the granular cells and plasmatocytes. In this case, a humoral mediator (cytokine) is related to cell-cell interactions. Insects also have anti-microbial substances, lectin, a prophenoloxidase-activating system (proPO-AS), and a complement-like factor. Cecropin, insect defensin, and attacin are well-known anti-bacterial substances. In general, they are induced on injury or infection as well as at molting or pupation and show a broad spectrum activity. Lectin is also produced by infection or at developmental stages, and plays an important role in agglutinating foreign cells or in mediating the binding of granular phagocytes to them, In lepidoptera, lectin production is closely regulated by the endocrine system and by phagocytosis of granular cells. Furthermore, proPO-AS is correlated with recognition of foreign materials, particularly with the bacterial cell wall component, peptideglycan or the fungal cell wall component, β-1,3-glucan. Since proPO and the protein for binding to peptideglycan or β-1,3-glucan are synthesized by oenocytoids and spherule cells, respectively, these hemocytes and be called immunocytes. The rapid attachment of granular cells depends on the proPO-AS, suggesting that proPO-AS serves as opsonin in granulocyte adhesion. Complement-like factors are also found in hemolymph, although their defensive role is not confirmed. Like antibodies vertebrates possess, as complement has opsonic or lytic functions, it appears that insect complement-like factors could be involved in cytolysis or opsonization of foreign cells.
