Fig. 7. The amount of NICD is higher in hephaestus clones relative to
normal surrounding tissue. (A,C) Normal NICD staining in a heterozygous
heph03429 wing disc. The position of the DV boundary is
noted in A (arrowhead). (B-B'',D-D'') A typical example of a
heph03429 mosaic wing disc with elevated levels of NICD
staining corresponding to the positions of heph mutant clones that
are marked by loss of a GFP reporter transgene. (C,D-D'') Higher
magnification view of the discs in A,B-B'', respectively. The positions
of the XZ sections through C,D-D'' are marked by a broken line. Each
image is a projection of 20 laser scanning fluorescent images (spanning a 30
µm total thickness) of GFP from a P{Ubi-GFP} transgene (green;
B',D') and mouse anti-NICD primary antibody labelled with an
anti-mouse Alexa-fluor594nm secondary antibody (red; A-D) in
control flies of genotype y w P{hsFLP}; P{neoFRT} P{
M} Sb
heph03429/TM6B (A,C) or target class flies of genotype y w
P{hsFLP}; P{neoFRT} P{
M} Sb heph03429/P{neoFRT} P{hsGFP}
(B-B'',D-D'').
