hemocyte & nucleus | supernumerary
Homozygous larvae show an increase in the number of hemocytes compared to control larvae.
Mutant animals exhibit a marked enlargement of the first lobes of the lymph gland, which occasionally contain melanised hemocytes. In addition hemocytes are larger and more heterogeneous in size and shape than those found in wild-type. The proportion of lamellocytes is greatly increased compared to wild-type. Many of the larger rounder hemocytes in the lymph glands and in circulation (up to 10% of all hemocytes) contain two nuclei.
ytrΔP22 has embryonic/larval hemocyte | increased number phenotype, suppressible by Mmus\Snrnp27UAS.cSa/Scer\GAL4stop.Hml
ytrΔP22 has embryonic/larval hemocyte | increased number phenotype, suppressible by Tsp68C+t3.0
ytrΔP22 has embryonic/larval hemocyte | increased number phenotype, non-suppressible by Tsp68Cstop
The increased number of hemocytes that is seen in ytrΔP22 homozygous larvae is suppressed by Tsp68C+t3.0, but is not suppressed by Tsp68Cstop.
Expression of Mmus\ytrScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4stop.Hml rescues the increased number of hemocytes that is seen in ytrΔP22 homozygous larvae.
