Abstract excerpt
The study of the regulation of the inducible synthesis of antimicrobial peptides in Drosophila melanogaster has established this insect as a powerful model in which to study innate immunity. In particular, the molecular characterization of the regulatory pathway controlling the antifungal peptide drosomycin has revealed the importance of Toll receptors in innate immunity. We report here that injection of LPS into...
