Abstract
Discoveries about the innate immune systems of flies and mammals reveal startling similarities between these two systems. In a Perspective, Khush et al., discuss new findings ( Choe et al.) showing a key role for pattern recognition receptors of the peptidoglycan recognition protein family in the induction of appropriate immune responses in the fruit fly.Keywords
