Genetic basis of natural variation in D. melanogaster antibacterial immunity.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 19 Mar 2004

Lazzaro Brian P, Sceurman Bonnielin K, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

Many genes involved in Drosophila melanogaster innate immune processes have been identified, but whether naturally occurring polymorphism in these genes leads to variation in immune competence among wild flies has not been tested. We report here substantial variability among wild-derived D. melanogaster in the ability to suppress infection by a Gram-negative entomopathogen, Serratia marcescens. Variability in...
