Fig. 7. Expression patterns of transgenes including sequences in the Abd-B
m 5' regulatory region. (A) The Abd-B upstream regulatory
region and the different genomic fragments used to make the constructs.
Coordinates, symbols of restriction sites and transcription start site as in
Fig. 1. (B-H) Embryos stained
with a anti-ß-galactosidase antibody at the germ band extended (B-D) and
germ band retracted (E-G) stages. (B) Embryo transformed with a construct
containing the Abd-Bpp fragment and the lacZ gene (Abd-Bpp white)
showing the basal expression pattern. (C) Embryos with the BEAbd-BppX2
construct. There is strong expression of ß-galactosidase in PS13 at the
germband extended stage (arrow). (D) Embryos transformed with the BEUbxppB4
construct. Note that now there is no strong expression in PS13. After germband
retraction, the three constructs show similar strong expression in anterior
and posterior spiracles (E-G, arrows).
