Figure 2. An enlarged plasmatocyte phenotype elicited by RNAi knockdown of members of a specific SCF complex.

(A) Control w ¹¹¹⁸ circulating plasmatocytes are marked by an eaterGal4>UAS-GFP transgene. (C,E,G,I,K) eater>GFP>UAS-gene RNAi expressed in circulating hemocytes causes enlarged GFP-positive cells indicated by arrows. (B) pxn>w ¹¹¹⁸ control hemocytes stained with anti-P1, a plasmatocyte specific antibody. (D,F,H,J,L) pxn>UAS-gene RNAi hemolymph samples stained with anti-P1 detects enlarged cells labeled with the plasmatocyte-specific antibody indicated by arrows.

Scale bars = 20 μm.
