UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Larvae expressing ShcGD11053 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.PG show reduced encapsulation (11%) of eggs when parasitised by the avirulent L. boulardi wasp strain G486. Plasmatocytes fully cover the egg, while lamellocytes partially cover it.
Adults expressing ShcGD11053 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
