The antibacterial and/or toxic effects of bacteriocins have been studied in mouse models and the latest alternative animal models, such as drosophila, zebrafish embryos, roundworms, wax moths or brine shrimp. These results suggest that bacteriocins can exert multiple positive responses in the host, such as altered immunogenic responses, altered inflammatory responses, and reduced ...
Powers Scientific has been helping advance insect research like this for over 30 years with Drosophila and Small Insect Chambers that are great for applications involving mosquito rearing, such as studies on vector biology, vector-parasite interactions, insecticide susceptibility, vaccine studies, genetic studies, etc. ...
The dipteran cell lines most commonly used for recombinant protein expression are S2 and S2R+, both derived from Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) [14], [15], A problem with insect cell-based recombinant protein expression is most of the relevant cell lines are persistently infected with various adventitious viruses (see below). ...
Drosophila innate immunity is controlled primarily by the activation of IMD (immune deficiency) or Toll signaling leading to the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). ...
