Immune Response and Anti-Microbial Peptides Expression in Malpighian Tubules of Drosophila melanogaster Is under Developmental Regulation

Malpighian tubules (MT) of Drosophila melanogaster are osmoregulatory organs that maintain the ionic balance and remove toxic substances from the body. Additionally they act as autonomous immune sensing organs, which secrete antimicrobial peptides in response to invading microbial pathogens. We show...
