Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion of sequences from -45 to +1170 relative to the prtp transcription start site.
Deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{GT1}prtpBG00450 that extends from -45 to +1170 relative to the prtp transcription start site. The start of prtp-RA was used as the transcription start site for the mapping.
The population size of hemocytes is normal in mutant embryos. However, the level of phagocytosis occurring in hemocytes of mutant embryos is almost half that of control hemocytes.
repo-positive glial cells show a reduced level of phagocytosis in mutant embryos compared to wild-type embryos.
