lysosome & larval fat body | somatic clone | cell autonomous
Aats-trpdsRNA.Scer\UAS.NIG clones in fat bodies from well-fed early third instar larvae (generated using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP) accumulate lysosomes, as indicated by elevated LysoTracker staining, and comprise small cells with small nuclei.
Expression of Aats-trpdsRNA.Scer\UAS.NIG produces dsRNA which results in dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the Aats-trp gene. Aats-trpdsRNA.Scer\UAS.NIG was generated by the National Institute of Genetics of Japan in Shizuoka.
