A 13kb fragment from upstream of the dve A promoter (including the first exon to +557) is fused upstream of sequence encoding a GAL4 driver.
Expression pattern of ScerGAL4dve.13 is nearly identical to that of endogenous dve protein, except for the adult male accessory gland main cells, which are identified by ScerGAL4dve.13 but not by dve antibody staining.
