Fig. 2From: The insulin receptor substrate Chico regulates antibacterial immune function in Drosophila Persistence of P. luminescens bacteria decreases in chico mutants. Escherichia coli (strain K12) or Photorhabdus luminescens (strain TT01) bacteria were injected into 7-10 day old Drosophila melanogaster chico mutants and yellow white (yw) background control adult flies. Colony Forming Units (CFU) for (a) non-pathogenic E. coli and (b) pathogenic P. luminescens bacteria at 3, 16 and 30 h following bacterial infection were determined by quantitative PCR. Data analysis was performed by unpaired two-tailed t-test and significant differences are indicated by asterisks (***P < 0.0005; *P < 0.05). Bars show the means from three independent experiments and error bars represent standard deviationBack to article page
