The rate of proliferation in trypsin-dissociated posterior wing disc cells expressing E2fTrunc.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E is similar to controls. A comparable proportion of cells have a G1 DNA content compared to controls.
Expression of E2fTrunc.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not induce apoptosis in the posterior compartment of intact third instar larval wing discs. The same is seen when the wing disc cells are trypsin-dissociated and quantified with flow cytometry.
A smaller proportion of trypsin-dissociated posterior compartment cells from third instar larval wing discs expressing E2fTrunc.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E are in S phase compared to controls.
