Larval hemolymph tyrosinase activity in Drosophila melanogaster was detected with high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The enzyme hydroxylated L-tyrosine, and oxidized the diphenol substrates L-dopa and dopamine. In larvae of a selected immune-reactive strain the ra
3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine, 5-6-dihydroxyindole, and N-acetylarterenone were detected by electrochemical methods in the hemolymph of immune reactive larvae of Drosophila melanogaster following parasitization by the wasp Leptopilina boulardi. Determinations of the catechols were made after separation
