Similar to larvae populated with EG neutrophils, Tg(Runx1:cebpb-CG2;lyz:DsRed2) larvae had a survival advantage following infection, and their neutrophils could kill intracellular Sal-GFP faster than Tg(lyz:DsRed2)/WT neutrophils (Fig. 6, E and F, and fig. The gene discussed is CEBPB; the disease is infection.
