An Hsp70 promoter drives expression of a HindIII-EcoRI prd cDNA fragment.
Heat shocked embryos show a range of cuticle types, from complete or almost complete deletion of all denticle belts, to complete or partial deletion of every other denticle belt.
Carried in a plasmid, and transfected into Schneider cells with a reporter plasmid to assay the function of the prdhs.PM protein.
Carried in plasmid "pHS-PRD", expressed in Schneider line 3 cells and tested for activation of the Ecol\CAT reporter gene.
