D-p38a mutants are not sensitive to septic injury. (A) Following infection, there were no changes in RNA levels for diptericin, cecropinA, defensin and drosomycin, as assessed by northern analysis; attacinA showed at most a small decrease. (B) Survival following infection was also unaffected. Adult Drosophila were inoculated with a bacterial cocktail of E. coli 055:B5, M. luteus and E. carotovora 15, and allowed to recover at 25°C. Live flies were counted every 24 h. (C) DNA microarray experiments confirm that the immune response profile of D-p38a mutants is largely normal.
