UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression via "HHLT-gal4" results in loss of progenitor cells in the primary lobes of the larval lymph gland. ("HHLT-gal4" is a combination of Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand and Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ that express in early lymph gland blood cells (hemocytes) and circulating and sessile blood cells, respectively, and incorporates Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C to maintain expression in the lymph gland after Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand is down-regulated.)
Adults expressing stwlGD4088 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.
