UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing veloGD6868 under the control of Scer\GAL4c564 show increased mortality upon infection with P. aeruginosa.
Adults expressing veloGD6868 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU show decreased bacterial load after infection with E.coli.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality or semi-lethality at the pupal stage, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 70-80% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
