In silico identification of opossum cytokine genes suggests the complexity of the marsupial immune system rivals that of eutherian mammals

BACKGROUND: Cytokines are small proteins that regulate immunity in vertebrate species. Marsupial and eutherian mammals last shared a common ancestor more than 180 million years ago, so it is not surprising that attempts to isolate many key marsupial cytokines using traditional laboratory techniques...
