Additional file 3 of Identification of glucocorticoid receptor in Drosophila melanogaster

Additional file 3. Cortisone acetate increases the sensitivity of male wildtype flies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Male wild type (WT) flies were orally challenged as in Fig. 1 with 1.67 × 107S. cerevisiae cells/ml with and without various concentrations of cortisone acetate (CA). Uninfected flies exposed to 140 mM cortisone acetate were included to test the toxicity of this compound. P-value indicates statistical significance compared to the yeast-only condition (asterisks) on the basis of the Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test.
