Fig. 5. Levels of Egfr signalling are increased in ed mutants.
(A-B') Confocal microscopy for immunohistochemical detection of Ato
(green) and mAb323, which detects multiple E(spl) proteins (red), in third
larval instar eye discs. (A,A') Wild type. (B,B')
ed4.12/ed4.12. Levels of E(spl) are not altered
in the mutant morphogenetic furrow (arrowhead). (C,D) Light microscope images
of pnt-P1 mRNA in third larval instar eye discs. (C) Wild type,
showing expression in the IGs. (D)
ed4.12/ed4.12. pnt-P1 expression is
greater in D. (E,F) Confocal microscopy for immunohistochemical detection of
dp-Erk (green) and Ato (red) in third larval instar eye imaginal discs. (E)
Wild type, showing expression in the IGs. (F)
ed4.12/ed4.12. Levels of dpErk are higher in
F.
