A Drosophila Model for Screening Antiobesity Agents

Figure 1

Transfection of S2-DRSC Drosophila cells. S2-DRSC Drosophila cells were transfected with pOBP-bmm promoter-GFP (b, d) or with pOBP-p53 promoter-GFP as a positive control (a, c). After staining with DAPI, cells were observed for DAPI signals (a, b) and GFP signals (c, d) under a fluorescence microscope. Cells transfected with pOBP-bmm promoter-GFP showed GFP signals, indicating that the bmm promoter functioned as expected.
