Components of the immune system expressed at higher levels in the adult trachea. (A) Schematic overview of the extra- and intracellular components of the IMD pathway. (B) RPKM expression values of different PGRPs compared between larval (blue) and adult trachea (red). (C) RPKM expression values of different antimicrobial molecules compared between larval and adult trachea. Asterisks indicate a differential gene expression based on the RNA-Seq analysis. Bars show mean with SD, n = 4. (D) Drs-GFP expression in the trachea of the adult abdomen.
