Expression of immune responsive genes in cell lines from two different Anopheline species. by Luna, C, Hoa, N, Lin, H, Zhang, L, Nguyen, H, Kanzok, S, Zheng, L

“…We previously have shown that Cec1 was primarily regulated by the Imd-Relish (REL2) pathway in the Anopheles gambiae Sua1B cell line. We show here that expression of Defensin A (Def1) and Gam1 was reduced after RNA interference against components of the Imd-REL2 pathway in An. gambiae cell lines. …”
