| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In response to pathogenic microorganisms and parasitic insects invading the insect hemocoel, hemocytes activate cellular immune reactions such as phagocytosis and encapsulation to deal with them. This study aimed to identify new cellular immune regulatory factors through transcriptome analysis. It also sought to elucidate the interactions between these newly identified factors and known regulatory factors in order to reveal the overall picture of the cellular immune system.
As a result, several novel gene groups that specifically control phagocytosis and encapsulation were obtained. Currently, the gene function analysis of these regulatory genes is being carried out, with the almost established RNAi method being used.
