Direct role of HIS-24 and HPL in control of microbial resistance. (A) Survival assay of mutant animals in infection experiments using the Gram-positive bacterium B. thuringiensis. (B) Survival assays of transgenic worms carrying HIS-24::GFP in the his-24^+/+ or his-24^−/− background. The presence of the modified form of HIS-24::GFP (HIS-24A14::GFP) did not influence the survival of his-24^−/− mutant animals on B. thuringiensis plates. Data are mean survivals (± standard errors of the mean) relative to the wild type. *, P < 0.0001, versus the wild type.
