CIL:13755

Hedgehog (Hh, red) is transcribed in apical cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium (CIL# 13755 and this image). In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hh protein is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellular space of the local follicle stem cell niche (CIL# 13745), but Hh transcription is still in apical cells (CIL# 13754). Hh transcription is demonstrated by the Hh-lacZ reporter and follicle cells are highlighted using anti-Fas-3 (green). Image is Supplemental Figure S3A in J Cell Biol. 2010. 191: 943-952.
