		The American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, was introduced to the U.S.A. from Africa as early as 1625 (it's native home was probably somewhere in coastal west Africa).

	Age-related changes in the total protein in the brain of Periplaneta americana (L.). (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Quantitative changes in the total protein in the brain of aging male and female Periplaneta americana have been observed.
		A significant increase of total protein and neurosecretory cells in the brain up to 5 months, followed by a considerable decline in later age, points to a direct relationship between the neurosecretory cell number and reproductive phenomenon.
		This suggests that neurosecretory cell number and protein concentration are related to reproduction and thereby aging.

		Yet, studies on the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) in Dr. Richard Karp's lab have led to the discovery of a possible invertebrate-type of adaptive humoral immune response, which may have evolved independently of the vertebrate equivalent.
		The response in the roaches displayed both specificity and memory after immunizations with a deactivated bee phospholipase A2 (BPA2) antigen and appeared to be mediated by a 102kDa inducible humoral protein factor.
		Yet, only future molecular characterization will allow for the identification of all the genes involved, their functions, and their true evolutionary history.
