Infection and wounding represses select HSR target genes at the site of injury. Graphical schematic of infection protocol (A). Levels of bacteria (B) or Gfp1 + S. marcescens (Db11) (C) relative to β-actin in abdominal wall (predominantly fat body) in uninjected bees (0) or those injected with either lysogeny broth (LB) or S. marcescens (Db11) four hours after injection. Transcript levels of Hymenoptaecin (D), Defensin 1 (E), and Abaecin (F) or Hsc70-4 (G), Hsp70Ab (H) and Hsp90 (I) relative to β-actin in abdominal wall (predominantly fat body) from these same bees. Bar and error bars represent the Mean ± SEM for expression values of the genes of interest calculated using the ΔΔCT method. Statistical significance was assessed using one way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test and is noted as *p < 0.05, and **p < 0.01.
