1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
Toll receptor proteins in Drosophila are involved in establishing the dorsal-ventral axis in embryogenesis as well as participating in the innate immune response to invading pathogens. The basic mediators of this response show striking similarities in plants, insects, and vertebrates.
