In a tuberculosis model by abdominal injection with Mycobacterium marinum, Ab(1)oss (affecting both upd1, upd3) homozygous mutant adult flies present a significant decrease in the bacterial burden, and significant increases in the survival and hemocyte numbers upon infection, as compared to wild-type control flies.
upd1os-s, upd3os-s has abnormal immune response | adult stage phenotype
upd1os-s, upd3os-s has increased cell number | adult stage | conditional phenotype
upd1os-s, upd3os-s has hemocyte | increased number | adult stage | conditional phenotype
Ab(1)oss (affecting both upd1, upd3) homozygous mutant adults present a significant decrease in the bacterial burden, and significant increases in the survival and hemocyte numbers upon infection with Mycobacterium marinum, as compared to wild-type controls; non-infected individuals present similar survival and hemocyte numbers as compared to wild-type controls.
