Although considerable analysis has permitted the elucidation of mechanisms pertaining to the two responses individually, the mechanism of their coordination has been unclear. To characterise the signals with which infection might be communicated between blood cells and fat body, we ablated circulating haemocytes and defined the parameters of AMP gene activation in larvae. We found that targeted ablation of blood cells influenced the levels of AMP gene expression in the fat body following both septic injury and oral infection. Expression of the AMP gene drosomycin (a Toll target) was blocked when expression of the Toll ligand Spa\u0308tzle was knocked down in haemocytes. These results show that in larvae, integration of the two responses in a systemic reaction depend on the production of a cytokine (spz), a process that strongly parallels the mammalian immune response.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.049155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,25]],"date-time":"2009-11-25T04:08:35Z","timestamp":1259122115000},"page":"4505-4515","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":154,"title":["Toll-dependent antimicrobial responses in<i>Drosophila<\/i>larval fat body require Spa\u0308tzle secreted by haemocytes"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"122","author":[{"given":"Alice K.
