FOXO regulates the expression of antimicrobial peptides and promotes phagocytosis of hemocytes in shrimp antibacterial immunity.
Invertebrates rely on innate immunity, including humoral and cellular immunity, to resist pathogenic infection.Previous studies showed that forkhead box transcription factor O (FOXO) participates in mucosal immune responses of mammals and the gut humoral immune regulation of invertebrates.However, whether FOXO is involved in systemic and cellular i
