PGRP-LCA.TM+IC.Scer\UAS is sufficient to activate the IMD pathway when expressed in the adult fat body under the control of Scer\GAL4yolk, or in the larval fat body under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB.
Expression of PGRP-LCA.TM+IC.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4yolk rescues the susceptibility of PGRP-LCΔE mutants to infection by Gram-negative bacteria.
