The immune response of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
Summary: The response of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to various microorganism infections relies on a multilayered defense. The epithelia constitute a first and efficie...
The Toll-like receptor 2 is recruited to macrophage phagosomes and discriminates between pathogens
Macrophages orchestrate innate immunity by phagocytosing pathogens and coordinating inflammatory responses. Effective defence requires the host to discriminate between different...
A novel inducible antibacterial peptide of Drosophila carries an O-glycosylated substitution
One of the facets of the host defense of higher insects is the rapid and transient synthesis, following bacterial challenge or trauma, of a battery of potent antibacterial pepti...
Phylogenetic Perspectives in Innate Immunity
The concept of innate immunity refers to the first-line host defense that serves to limit infection in the early hours after exposure to microorganisms. Recent data have highlig...
