Knock-down of Vps33B through expression of Vps33BdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in elevated levels of bacteria in primary hemocytes, suggesting an inability to digest them.
Knock-down of Vps33B through expression of Vps33BdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 does not affect normal lysosomal function.
