Short-term starvation of immune deficient Drosophila improves survival to gram-negative bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND:Primary immunodeficiencies are inborn errors of immunity that lead to life threatening conditions. These predispositions describe human immunity in natura and highlight the important function of components of the Toll-IL-1- receptor-nuclear factor kappa B (TIR-NF-kappaB) pathway. Since th...
