A serpin that regulates immune melanization in the respiratory system of Drosophila.

Developmental cell - 1 Oct 2008

Tang Huaping, Kambris Zakaria, Lemaitre Bruno, Hashimoto Carl

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial tissues facing the external environment are essential to combating microbial infection. In addition to providing a physical barrier, epithelial tissues mount chemical defenses to prevent invasion of internal tissues by pathogens. Here, we describe that the melanization reaction implicated in host defense is activated in the respiratory system, the trachea, of Drosophila. Tracheal melanization can be...
