Abstract Text | To improve the quality of cytoplasmic labelling of GAL4-expressing cells in Drosophila enhancer-trap and transgenic strains, a new GAL4-responsive reporter UAS-tau, which features a bovine tau cDNA under control of a yeast upstream activation sequence (UAS), was tested. Tau, a microtubule-associated protein, is distributed actively and evenly into all cellular processes. Monoclonal anti-bovine Tau antibody reveals the axonal structure of the labelled cells with detail similar to that of Golgi impregnation. We demonstrate that the UAS-tau system is especially useful for studying processes of differentiation and reorganisation of identified neurones during postembryonic development. | Doi | 10.1007/s004410050901 |
