Figure 6From: Histone acetylation mediates epigenetic regulation of transcriptional reprogramming in insects during metamorphosis, wounding and infectionMeasurement of HDAC activity in G. mellonella hemocytes following the administration of HDAC inhibitors. Hemocytes from injured Galleria larvae were seeded in a 96-well clear-bottom black plate at a density of 3 x 104 per well in Drosophila Schneider’s medium supplemented with 10% FBS. The cells were treated with 10 μl of HDAC inhibitor cocktail (1:1 SAHA (1 mg/ml) and sodium butyrate (20 mg/ml)) and control hemocytes were treated with an equal volume of 1% DMSO (**, p < 0.005).Back to article page
