Recombination between the FRT sites in the P{XP}CG46338d07017 and PBac{RB}CG46338e00513 insertions has resulted in a 5kb deletion that includes Lime, part of lncRNA:CR45138 and one of the promoters for CG46338.
Df(2R)Lime-exD homozygous larvae present significantly smaller lymph glands with significantly fewer plasmatocytes and crystal cells, as well as fewer circulating hemocytes, as compared to controls.
