Antimicrobial peptides are activated in response to E. chaffeensis in S2 cells. S2 cells were transfected with attacin, diptericin, or drosomycin promoter-GFP constructs. The S2 cells were dosed with live or boiled E. chaffeensis or with sterile S2 medium (negative). GFP output was measured on a spectrophotometer. Numbers represent the means from two independent experiments.
