Figure 3.

Individual immune response following injection with a cocktail of heat-killed microorganisms versus an equivalent Ringer's solution. (a) MA plots of gene expression in B. orientalis and C. meridianus (upper panel) or each caste of N. castaneus: FW, false workers; S, soldiers; R, reproductives. Red dots in graphs represent differentially expressed genes. (b) Cross-species comparison of total number of significantly induced immune genes following experimental injection. Bars in grey, red and blue represent the solitary cockroach, B. orientalis, the subsocial cockroach, C. meridianus, and the social termite, N. castaneus, respectively. Gene families are categorized from left to right into immune effectors, receptors and signalling genes, respectively.
