Image 3: Confocal images of macrophages of Drosophila melanogaster, which contain glucan particles suitable for macrophage specific-delivery of various metabolic inhibitors or transcription factors developed in the Laboratory of Insect Immunometabolism (Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia). Macrophages were visualized by endogenously produced GFP under croquemort driver. Blue color marks glucan particles; white color depicts macrophage membrane. Image captured by the members the of Laboratory of Insect Metabolism, Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Image 6: Confocal image of an egg laid by the parazitoid wasp Leptopillina boulardi in the body cavity of Drosophila melanogaster larva. Although it tries to hide in the folds of the intestine (gut musculature in green), it is recognized by immune cells (white). Image captured by the members the of Laboratory of Insect Metabolism, Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Image 7: Confocal image of Drosophila melanogaster showing increased expression of lactate dehydrogenase (in red) in immune cells (in green) after bacterial infection. Image captured by the members the of Laboratory of Insect Metabolism, Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic.
