Figure 6

Fold increase of Siba Def in whole bodies of insects after oral infection with bacteria at different time course. (A) Fold increase of sibaDef in insects after S. aureus ingestion. (B) Fold increase of SibaDef in insects after B. Subtilis ingestion. Expression levels in whole bodies of bacteria-immunized insects were calculated relative to the level of SibaDef in corresponding naive insects, which was arbitrarily defined as 1. Values for infection treatment are significantly different from control values. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 significantly different compared to the control (n = 9).
