Transcriptional activation of HDAC and HAT genes following challenge with pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. Transcription levels were measured by quantitative real time RT-PCR (A) 1 h, (B) 1 d and (C) 4 d after infection, and are relative to the levels in larvae treated with 0.9% NaCl. Values were normalized against the 18S rRNA housekeeping gene and represent means of three independent measurements ± standard deviations (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.005).
