The UAS-CD8::GFP is a genetic construct that expresses the green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the CD8 transmembrane protein under the control of the UAS (Upstream Activating Sequence) promoter. This construct can be used to visualize and study the expression patterns of specific genes or cell types in Drosophila melanogaster.

All flies were reared on standard cornmeal-based fly food. Unless noted otherwise, during developmental and post-eclosion, flies were raised at 25 °C, ~50% humidity and a 12:12 hr light-dark cycle (1400 ± 200 lx white fluorescent light) in humidity and temperature controlled incubators.
The following stocks were used: Canton-S (BL 64349), tub-Gal80ts (BL 7019), UAS-CD8:GFP (BL 5130), 20XUAS-IVS-mCD8:GFP (BL 32194), UAS-dMBD-R2-RNAi (BL 30481), and UAS-dMBD2/3-RNAi (BL 35347) were obtained from the Bloomington Stock Center (Bloomington, IN). Drosophila virilis (15010–1051.00) and D. yakuba (14021.0261.38) was received from the Drosophila Species Stock Center (San Diego, CA). Cha-Gal80 was a gift from T. Kitamoto and Jay Hirsh generously provided the Tdc2-Gal4 line.

Fly crosses were conducted and maintained at 25 °C, ~60% humidity in diurnally controlled environments. Crosses were conducted in standard cornmeal media. On the day that adults eclosed from the pupal case, they were switched to instant fly media supplemented with vehicle (ultrapure water) or with final 1 mg/mL D-520 dissolved in ultrapure water. Flies were maintained in media for 14 days, with food changed every 3–4 days. On day 14, fly heads were dissected and GFP fluorescence was examined and photographed with an Olympus BX53 microscope. Fluorescence from fly eyes was then quantified and tabulated as described before37 (link),44 (link). Aβ1–42 stock was #32038 from Bloomington Stock center. Ctrl flies had the GMR-Gal4 driver and UAS-mCD8-GFP on the w1118 background. GMR-Gal4 was #8121 from Bloomington stock center and UAS-CD8-GFP was stock #5137 from Bloomington stock center. UAS-mCD8-GFP and GMR-Gal4 were maintained as a trans-heterozygous stock to cross to w1118 or UAS-Aβ1–42.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flies expressing RaPrP-WT were described previously (Fernandez-Funez et al., 2010). The constructs carrying RaPrP-S174N, EqPrP-WT, EqPrP-SE167,168DQ, CaPrP-WT, CaPrP-D159N, and CaPrP-YD155,159DN cDNAs were synthesized at GenScript and cloned between EcoRI and NotI sites onto the pUAST Drosophila expression vector (Brand and Perrimon, 1993 (link)). The pUAST-based constructs were injected into yw embryos at Rainbow Transgenics following standard procedures (Rubin and Spradling, 1982 (link)) to generate multiple independent transgenic lines for each plasmid. The driver strains OK107-Gal4 (mushroom bodies), BG380-Gal4 (motor neurons), and da-Gal4 (ubiquitous), and the reporters UAS-LacZ and UAS-CD8-GFP were obtained from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (http://fly.bio.indiana.edu). Fly stocks were maintained on standard Drosophila medium at 25°C. For experiments, homozygous females for the Gal4 strains were crossed with UAS males to generate progeny expressing PrP in the desired tissue. Crosses were placed at 25°C for two days, transferred to 28°C until the progeny completed development, and adults were aged at 28°C, unless otherwise indicated. All assays were performed using females.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
