Abstract excerpt
Systemic immune response via the Immune deficiency pathway requires Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 to activate the NF-κB transcription factor Relish. Malpighian tubules (MTs), simple epithelial tissue, are the primary excretory organs, performing additional role in providing protection to Drosophila against pathogenic infections. MTs hold a strategic position in Drosophila as one of the larval...
