Tissue- and time-dependent deployment of Toll- and Imd-associated immune responses in Manduca sexta larvae.

Little is known about how the Toll and Imd pathways are deployed across tissues and over time in insects outside the Drosophila lineage. To address this, we performed a systematic analysis of immune gene responses in Manduca sexta using deep RNA-seq of fat body, hemocytes, and midgut after aseptic wounding or microbial...
