Detailed Description

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.
