Reproductive Status Alters Transcriptomic Response to Infection in Female Drosophila melanogaster
Mating and consequent reproduction significantly reduce the ability of female Drosophila melanogaster to defend against systemic bacterial infection. The goal of the present study was to identify genes likely to inform the mechanism of this post-mating immunosuppression. We used microarrays to contr...
