Dear Dr. Corbo,
I am curating your abstract from the Atlanta Fly meeting (271B) and
would like to include a reference to the immune response gene
you describe. Do you have a name for this gene yet?
Many thanks for your help,
best wishes,
Rachel

Rachel,
I do not have a name for the immunity locus, but I believe Jules Hoffmann's
group in France (working on the same locus) has called it Imd (for
ImmunoDeficiency locus). Both the French group and ourselves (Mike Levine's lab)
are submitting separate papers on the gene to PNAS so these should hopefully be
out in the coming months. Please let me know if you need any more information, I
realize my abstract was a bit vague. Sincerely in science, Joseph Corbo
