ftΔA.Tag:V5 rescues ft8/ftG-rv
Expression of ftΔA.T:SV5\V5 rescues the lethality associated with ft8/ftG-rv. The rescued animals appear morphologically normal and only a negligible wing hair planar cell polarity phenotype is seen. The abdominal hair polarity phenotype is fully rescued. The intercellular ridges that run from anterior to posterior in the ft8/ftG-rv mutant posterior wings run proximally to distal in rescue animals, as is seen in wild type.
