Insect Immune Responses
We have pulled together several categories of links to
provide a wide range of starting points for further
investigation. If you know of other sites we should link,
please let Sarah Deel (sdeel@carleton.edu)
know.
http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu/allied-data/lk/interactive-fly/aignfam/immune.htm
- This site is part of a larger site called the
Interactive fly which focuses on Drosophila melanogaster.
This page provides background information about the
defense response of the fruit fly.
http://www.waite.adelaide.edu.au/AME/insect_immunity/insect_immunity.html
- This page contains a summary description of the
humoral and cellular immune responses in insects. It also
discusses briefly how parasitoids of insects evade these
responses.
http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~kanost/kanost.htm
- This is the web page of Dr. Mike Kanost (Kansas State
University) who is studying M. sexta hemolymph proteins
in general with a particular interest in the immune
proteins.
