A Study of Epstein-Barr Virus BRLF1 Activity in a Drosophila Model System by Amy Adamson, Dennis LaJeunesse

“…Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpesvirus family, infects a large majority of the human population and is associated with several diseases, including cancer. We have created Drosophila model systems to study the interactions between host cellular proteins and the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immediate-early genes BRLF1 and BZLF1. …”

Protocol for multiplexed RNAscope-based imaging of mRNAs in whole-mount adult Drosophila brains by Meilin Wu, Vanessa Lambatan, Peng Guo, William J. Joiner

“…Here, we present a protocol utilizing RNAscope (ACD) to overcome these obstacles and detect multiple types of mRNAs simultaneously in whole-mount adult Drosophila brains. We further describe how mRNAs can be reliably quantified in any cells that can be targeted by common binary expression systems such as Gal4/UAS and labeled by immunohistochemistry.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to De et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.…”
