Zusammenfassung: | Intrabodies show great promise for controlling gene expression. As an initial attempt to evaluate the intrabody technology in
Drosophila, the gene
poxn was used as target. Transgenic flies harboring different anti-Poxn scFv genes integrated into various chromosomes were obtained. In one transformant, a phenocopy resembling the hypomorphic
poxn
− phenotype was produced in embryos and larvae following induction of expression of α-Poxn2 intrabody. The antisense approach was used as control. Parameters that can affect the success of intrabody technology are described. |
