hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygous and Cyt-b5[k14202]/Cyt-b5[k09716] females and males produce few progeny, even when mated with wild-type flies, and the mutant females lay few eggs. Cyt-b5[k14202]/Cyt-b5[k09716] larvae contain large numbers of circulating lamellocytes (these are not found in normal larvae). Lamellocytes are more prevalent in larvae containing small melanotic tumours, while plasmatocytes are more abundant in larvae containing large melanotic tumours.
All larvae and adults exhibit melanotic tumour formation. Adult tumours are in the abdomen and occasionally in the head and thorax.

Comments
The melanotic tumour phenotype seen in Cyt-b5[k14202]/Cyt-b5[k09716] animals is rescued by expression of Cyt-b5[Scer\UAS.cKa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[He.PZ], but is not rescued when expression is driven by Scer\GAL4[Sgs3.PD].

Level of Ecol\lacZ expression and viability of adults is not altered by bacterial infection of adults.
This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock. Further information is available from http://www.fruitfly.org/bfd/ and from Dr. Spradling (spradling@mail1.ciwemb.edu).
