Fig. 7. Cell fragments are englufed by macrophages. neu^P72 UAS-H2B::YFP third instar larvae were injected with Indian Ink and dissected at pupal stage (23 hours APF). Macrophages which have incorporated Indian Ink depicted black inclusions of different sizes (red). Sensory organ cells expressing GFP are in green. To avoid reduction in green staining after superposition with a transmitted image, the Indian Ink image was depicted in negative. Note that GFP-positive fragments (arrowheads) are surrounded by an Indian Ink-labelled cell. Anterior is upwards and the view is horizontal.
