MBON02 Trans-tango images

on Monday, December 15th, 2025 12:37 | by

MBON02 trans-tango image from Kaun Lab. Left image shows trans-tango signal in red, right image shows overlay of all channels (green for MBON02, red for trans-tango, blue for nc82):

My MBON02 trans-tango images stained with anti-HA instead of anti-RFP. Flies generated by crossing trans-tango mkII line (BDSC: 95317) with MB399B (Brembslab stock number: 319). Left shows trans-tango signal in green, right shows overlay of al channels (green for trans-tango, blue for MBON02, red for nc82):

Confocal Images Trans-Tango, Retro-Tango

on Monday, December 8th, 2025 12:44 | by

Staining done by anti-GFP (MBON02), anti-RFP (post-synaptic cells), nc82 (for background stainingm not shown here). MBON02 cells are clearly visible on green channel but there is no clear cell signal on red channel (MBON02 in green channel, postsynaptic cells in red channel).

Here is the trans-tango image of MBON02 (postsynaptic cells of MBON02) from Kaun Lab:

Retro-Tango of b3 mns look worse, nearly no cell signal both in green (b3 mn) and red channels (b3 mn presynaptic neurons)

Results for Dop1R1-RNAi, Amon-RNAi and the course data

on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024 8:11 | by

Firstly, I did an experiment where Dop1R1 was knocked down via RNAi. The following shows the results:

For the next experiment, the controls groups were the same, however in the experimental group Amon was down regulated. These are the results:

Lastly, in the course the data for the larvae experiment was collected only under blue light, so I used the same crossings and tested them under red light to use as a control.

Results for MB+DANs and MB054B

on Monday, September 25th, 2023 11:07 | by

The first experiment tested the activation of KCs with simultaneous ablation of pPAM which showed the following results:

Green: UAS-ChR2-XXL; LexAop-rpr x 58E02-LexA; H24-Gal4

Lightgrey: UAS-ChR2-XXL; LexAop-rpr x H24-Gal4

Darkgrey: UAS-ChR2-XXL x 58E02-LexA; H24-Gal4

The next experiment was conducted with the split-Gal4 line MB054B (DAN-f1/DAN-g1) and showed the following:

Verification TH-C-AD;TH-D-DBD

Confocal images with anti-GFP and anti-Brp staining of TH-C-AD;TH-D-DBD > mCD::GFP fly brains: A: 4 PPM 2 DANs per hemisphere marked with blue circles, three clusters of Kenyon cell bodies per hemisphere marked with white arrows. B: Five visible cell bodies of unidentified neurons marked with a blue circle in the left hemisphere. The neurons project into the lobula plate and the medulla. Strong fluorescence of cell bodies of the Kenyon cells projecting into the Mushroom bodies is visible. C: Unidentified neurons projecting into structures outside of the optic lobes especially the ventral lateral protocerebrum.
