Projectomschrijving
 

The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis can infect a broad range of hosts (flies) and has a known venom composition. This research will determine which pathways the venom can affect in both the host Sarcophaga crassipalpis and the human celline HEK293, and which venom compounds are responsible for these processes. This will be investigated using microarrays, FACS, reporter arrays and QPCR.
