Abstract
Significance Hosts sequester iron as a strategy to limit pathogen acquisition of this essential nutrient in a process termed nutritional immunity. Due to their in vitro antimicrobial activity, iron-binding proteins transferrins are suspected to play a role in iron sequestration. However, little is known about the in vivo role of transferrins. Here, we found that Drosophila melanogaster exhibits infection-induced hypoferremia mediated by...
