Fig. 8. Antimicrobial peptide expression in flies with impaired Drosophila
CYLD expression. (A) Diptericin expression [expressed
as a ratio of Diptericin:rp49 (also known as RpL32)
mRNA levels] in wildtype w1118 flies (w) and in CYLDf00814
homozygotes (f00814) was determined before and after infection with E.
coli. (B) Diptericin expression (expressed as a ratio of
Diptericin:rp49 mRNA levels) in wildtype w1118 (w) and flies
overexpressing CYLD in the fat body (DmCYLD/yolk) before and after
E. coli infection. (A,B) Mean values (±s.d.) from three
independent experiments are shown.
