Expression of SlikScer\UAS.cPa under the control of either Scer\GAL4ptc.PU or Scer\GAL4ap.PU in cells of the wing disc proper induces non-autonomous overproliferation of the overlying peripodial membrane cells in third instar larvae.
Co-expression of SlikdsRNA.Scer\UAS.5'UTR to deplete endogenous Slik does not interfere with the ability of SlikScer\UAS.cPa expression driven by Scer\GAL4ptc.PU to induce non-autonomous overproliferation of the overlying peripodial membrane cells in third instar larvae.
