Innate immune processes arose from specific host–pathogen coevolutive interactions and the ability to recognise self and nonself structures is extremely conserved from invertebrates to vertebrates. In this context, phagocytes represent the most ancient defensive line against foreign materials, already present in earliest protostomes. Moreover, although more complex functions evolved in vertebrates, both cellular and humoral innate immune mechanisms are extremely conserved, leading to identify some forms of innate immune memory also in invertebrates.

Abstract
Innate immune processes arose from specific host–pathogen coevolutive interactions and the ability to recognise self and nonself structures is extremely conserved from invertebrates to vertebrates. In this context, phagocytes represent the most ancient defensive line against foreign materials, already present in earliest protostomes. Moreover, although more complex functions evolved in vertebrates, both cellular and humoral innate immune mechanisms are extremely conserved, leading to identify some forms of innate immune memory also in invertebrates.
