Bacterial sepsis triggers stronger transcriptomic immune responses in larger primates

2023-07-11

Abstract excerpt

Empirical data relating body mass to immune defense against infections remain limited. Although the Metabolic Theory of Ecology predicts that larger organisms would have weaker immune responses, recent studies have suggested that the opposite may be true. These discoveries have led to the Safety Factor hypothesis, which proposes that larger organisms have evolved stronger immune defenses because they carry greater...
