Melanization Priming

Melanization Priming is a biological mechanism within the innate immune system that enhances the capacity of invertebrates to mount a faster and stronger melanin-based immune response upon secondary pathogen exposure, distinguishing it from other priming phenomena by its dependence on the phenoloxidase cascade and localized melanin deposition.
