3 kb has been deletied from modSP and replaced with a mini-white gene by homologous recombination.
modSP1 larvae show increased susceptibility (i.e. mortality) to Candida glabrata fungal infection.
Mutant flies show reduced survival compared to wild-type controls after natural infection with B. bassiana.
modSP1 mutants are viable and exhibit no visible developmental defects.
When challenged by a range of gram-positive bacteria (E. faecalis, L. monocytogenes), modSP1 flies rapidly succumb to infection. However, modSP1 mutants do not cause a general immune deficiency, because modSP1 flies exhibit a wild-type survival to a septic injury with the Gram-negative bacteria Erwinia carotovora, which is known to activate the Imd pathway.
modSP1 mutant flies rapidly succumb to C.albicans infection.
modSP1 flies exhibit a moderate increase of susceptibility to Aspergillus fumigatus infection compared with wild-type.
modSP1/Df(3R)P-10 and modSP1/Df(3R)Spf flies rapidly succumb to infection.
modSP1.Δ.w mutants are viable and exhibit no visible developmental defects.
When challenged by a range of gram-positive bacteria (E. faecalis, L. monocytogenes), modSP1.Δ.w flies rapidly succomb to infection. However, modSP1.Δ.w mutants do not cause a general immune deficiency, because modSP1.Δ.w flies exhibit a wild-type survival to a septic injury with the Gram-negative bacteria Erwinia carotovora, which is known to activate the Imd pathway.
modSP1.Δ.w mutant flies rapidly succomb to C.albicans infection.
modSP1.Δ.w flies exhibit a moderate increase of susceptibility to Aspergillus fumigatus infection compared with wild-type.
modSP1.Δ.w/Df(3R)P-10 and modSP1.Δ.w/Df(3R)Spf flies rapidly succumb to infection.
modSP1 is an enhancer of abnormal immune response phenotype of psh1
modSP1, psh1 has abnormal immune response | adult stage phenotype
modSP1, psh1 has abnormal immune response | larval stage phenotype
modSP1, psh1 has increased mortality | adult stage | conditional phenotype
modSP1, psh1 has increased mortality | larval stage | conditional phenotype
psh1 ; modSP1.Δ.w double mutant flies exhibit a moderate increase of susceptibility to Aspergillus fumigatus infection compared with single mutants.
psh1 ; modSP1 double mutant flies exhibit a moderate increase of susceptibility to Aspergillus fumigatus infection compared with single mutants.
