PGN-challenged offspring immunity.

PGN = peptidoglycan. Statistical evaluation (two-way-ANOVA) of priming effects on the persistence of the increase of phenoloxidase (PO) and antibacterial (AMP) activity (lysozyme activity equivalent, Micrococcus luteus) three and five days after offspring pupal PGN treatment in 3-day-old and 5-day-old adults (Fig. 3). Means ± SE of PO activities and antibacterial (AMP) activities of PGN-challenged offspring individuals are shown in Table S5 in File S1. Statistical evaluation of priming effects on the persistence of enhanced immune activity after offspring immune challenge by PBS is shown in Table S8 in File S1. Compare Table S7 for post hoc test data in File S1.
Data were Box-Cox transformed prior to analysis in order to reach normal distribution PO = PÔ0.242, AMP = AMPˆ0.121. Significant P-levels are shown in bold.
