LUBEL is required for mounting an immune response upon oral infection with Gram-negative bacteria. a Adult wild-type CantonS, dreddL23 and lubelMi mutant flies were subjected to septic injury with the Gram-negative bacteria Ecc15 and their survival was monitored over time. Error bars indicate SEM from more than 10 independent experimental repeats using at least 20 flies per repeat. b Adult CantonS, dreddL23 and lubelMi mutant flies were infected by septic injury with the Gram-negative bacteria Ecc15. Relish activation was studied by analysing the expression of Drosocin with qPCR. Error bars indicate SEM from more than 10 independent experimental repeats using at least 10 flies per repeat. c Adult CantonS, RelE20 and lubelMi mutant flies were infected by feeding with the Gram-negative bacteria Ecc15 and their survival was monitored over time. Error bars indicate SEM from three independent experimental repeats using at least 20 flies per repeat. d Adult CantonS, dreddL23 and lubelMi mutant flies were infected by feeding with the Gram-negative bacteria Ecc15. CantonS flies fed with LB-sucrose were used as controls. Relish activation was studied by analysing the expression of Drosocin with qPCR. Error bars indicate SEM from three independent experimental repeats using at least 10 flies per repeat. e Adult female DaGal4,Dipt-lacZ and lubelMi;DaGal4,Dipt-lacZ mutant flies were infected by feeding with the Gram-negative bacteria Ecc15 for 8 h. Intestines were dissected and stained for β-galactosidase activity, n = 3. f CantonS and lubelMi mutant flies were infected by feeding with the Gram-negative bacteria Ecc15 for 24 h. Intestines were dissected and stained for phospho-histone H3. All phospho-histone H3-positive cells in midguts prepared and stained were counted for statistics, error bars indicate SEM from four independent experimental repeats and the number of intestines analysed are indicated in brackets. g CantonS and lubelMi mutant flies were infected by feeding with ampicillin-resistant E. coli for 24 h and the bacterial load was assessed by counting colony-forming units (CFU); error bars indicate SEM from three independent experimental repeats. ns nonsignificant, nonsignificant, * p< 0.05, ** p< 0.01, *** p< 0.001
