Drosophila host defense: Differential induction of antimicrobial peptide genes after infection by various classes of microorganisms

Insects respond to microbial infection by the rapid and transient expression of several genes encoding potent antimicrobial peptides. Herein we demonstrate that this antimicrobial response of Drosophila is not aspecific but can discriminate between various classes of microorganisms. We first observe...
