INT-0201376David StanleyUniversity of Nebraska-LincolnlThe project is about international collaboration with researchers in Korea, focusing on insect immunity: The insect pathogen Xenorhabdus nematophilus depresses host immunity by inhibiting eicosanoid biosynthesis. Insects are the most successful group of animals and the only serious biological competitor with humans. Insects exert tremendous economic and public health impacts on human life and life quality. The development of effective and environmentally compatible insect management strategies is necessary. The earlier collaboration study shows that a bacterial factor which is present in the organic fraction of the bacterial culture medium inhibits cellular immune reactions. The proposed study is to identify the bacterial factor responsible for inhibiting eicosanoid biosynthesis and to determine the influence of this factor on bacterial pathogenesis.

内布拉斯加州林肯市的Int-0201376David Stanleyuniverity项目是关于与韩国研究人员的国际合作，重点关注昆虫免疫：昆虫病原体Xenorhabdus nematophilus抑制宿主通过抑制eicosanoid Biosynthesiss来抑制宿主免疫。昆虫是最成功的动物群体，也是唯一与人类的认真的生物竞争者。昆虫对人类生活和生活质量产生了巨大的经济和公共卫生影响。必须制定有效和环境兼容的昆虫管理策略。较早的协作研究表明，细菌培养基中存在的细菌因子抑制细胞免疫反应。拟议的研究是确定负责抑制类固醇生物合成的细菌因子，并确定该因子对细菌发病机理的影响。
