Guidelines for Immunomodulatory Assays of Food Bioactives on Drosophila melanogaster Model
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.Guidelines are proposed for evaluating the immunomodulatory effects of food bioactives in Drosophila melanogaster, involving treatment with bioactives, pathogen preparation, infection routes, and immune response assessment. This model highlights the conserved mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity for studying host‐microbe interactions.
