Expression of SlikdsRNA.Scer\UAS.5'UTR under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc.PU in cells of the wing disc proper does not influence proliferation 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 Scer\GAL4ptc.PU-driven expression of either SlikScer\UAS.cPa or SlikdsRNA.Scer\UAS.5'UTR to induce non-autonomous overproliferation of the overlying peripodial membrane cells in third instar larvae.
