1. Insect immunity : Inducible antibacterial proteins from Hyalophora cecropia
Sammanfattning : A powerful bactericidal activity can be induced in the hemolymph of many insects as a response to an injection of bacteria. The nature of the effector molecules of this immune response was investigated, using pupae of the Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia. LÄS MER
2. The cecropin locus in Hyalophora cecropia : structure and function of three genes for antibacterial peptides
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Molecular studies of the humoral immune response in Hyalophora cecropia : structure, function and transcriptional regulation of three classes of immunoresponsive genes
Sammanfattning : Insects have an efficient humoral immune system, an important part of which is constituted by the antibacterial proteins, produced upon bacterial infection or wounding. In this thesis, the molecular mechanism of this immune response was investigated in the giant silkmoth Hyalophora cecropia, where a set of bacteriainducible proteins (immune proteins) had previously been characterized.

4. Anti-parasitic and anti-viral immune responses in insects
Sammanfattning : Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. LÄS MER
