The largest database of trusted experimental protocols

The UAS-GCaMP5 is a genetic tool that can be used to visualize changes in calcium concentration within cells. It is a calcium-sensitive fluorescent protein that is expressed under the control of the GAL4/UAS system, allowing for targeted expression in specific cell types. The core function of UAS-GCaMP5 is to serve as a reporter for calcium dynamics, which can be used to study neural activity and other calcium-dependent cellular processes.

Drosophila melanogaster strains were raised on standard cornmeal/agar medium supplemented with dry yeast at 25 °C with a 12 hr light/dark cycle. The wild type stock was a w1118strain. The following stocks were obtained from Bloomington Stock Center: w1118;dTrpA11 (BL26504), dTrpA1 RNAi1 (BL31384), w*;dTrpA11, dTrpA1-Gal4 (BL36922), w*; dTrpA1-Gal4 (BL 27593), UAS-RFP (BL 27391), UAS-GCaMP5 (BL 42037), UAS-GCaMP6m (BL 42748). The Gr66a-IRES-GFP vector was kindly provided by Kristin Scott, the NSyB-Gal4;UAS-GCaMP3 was obtained by Patrick Verstreken. The lines Gr66aGal4, UAS-dTrpA1(A);dTrpA1ins,dTrpA1GAL4, UAS-dTrpA1(B);dTrpA1ins,dTrpA1Gal4 and the dTrpA1 RNAi 2 were kindly provided by the laboratory of Paul Garrity.

The following fly strains were used in this study: yw (Bloomington stock no. 6598), nompC 1 and nompC 3 37 , Mhc 1 40 , GluRIIC 41 , 2-21-GAL4 31 , elav-GAL4 81 , nSyb-GAL4
(Bloomington stock center no. 58763), R36G02-GAL4 (Bloomington stock no. 49939) 25 , M-split-GAL4 (tsh-p65ADZp; VT002081-ZpGdbd), UAS-mCD8::GFP (Bloomington stock center no. 32186), UAS-GCaMP5 (Bloomington stock center no.
42038), UAS-GCaMP6m (Bloomington stock center no. 42750), UAS-CD4::GCaMP6f All experiments in this study were conducted with embryos and newly hatched larvae (ages ≤ 30 h AEL except for those shown in Figure 7E) at room temperature (25°C) unless otherwise noted. For accurate staging, eggs were collected for 20 minutes from parental flies raised in a cup at 25˚C covered with an yeast-pasted agar plate.

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.
