Fig. 3. In vivo activation of AMPs in hemocytes and fat body of M. sexta larvae by LPS, LTA and PG.

Fig. 3

M. sexta 5th instar naïve larvae were injected with saline, or with LPS-K12, PG-K12, LTA-BS, PG-BS, LTA-SA or PG-SA (20 μg per larva), and hemocytes and fat body were collected at 24h post-injection. Expression of Attacin, Lebocin and Moricin mRNAs in the fat body (A–C) and hemocytes (D–F) was analyzed by Real-time PCR. The bars represent the mean of three individual measurements ± S.E.M. Asterisks (*) indicate significant difference compared to the saline-injection group. Significance between two groups was indicated by a horizontal line and p value was shown above the line.
