Injection of Cry1Aa for in vivo cell ablation. a Schematic of an in vivo ablation experiment. (b, c) Propidium iodide (PI) staining of wing discs from Cry1Aa-injected larvae. All CryR-expressing cells, marked by green fluorescent protein (GFP), were PI-positive (c), in contrast to the controls, overexpressing LacZ (B). Scale bar, 100 μm. d Adult flies injected with Cry1Aa during third instar larvae lost their wings. This phenotype is not observed in the absence of either CryR or Cry1Aa injection
