An apocrine mechanism delivers a fully immunocompetent exocrine secretion

Abstract Apocrine secretion is a recently discovered widespread non-canonical and non-vesicular secretory mechanism whose regulation and purpose is only partly defined. Here, we demonstrate that apocrine secretion in the prepupal salivary glands (SGs) of Drosophila provides the sole source of immune...
