Induction of APPs in C. elegans. When C. elegans encounters a single pathogen, it will secrete a mixture of APPs as part of its protective mechanism, specifically (A) caenopores/saposin-like proteins (SPPs), antibacterial factor proteins (ABFs) and invertebrate lysozymes (ILYSs) in the digestive tract, and (B) neuropeptide-like proteins (NLPs) at the epidermis. The dashed line arrow denotes the route of infection.
