Abstract excerpt
The lack of genetic means has been a serious limitation in studying mosquito immunity. We generated Relish-mediated immune deficiency (RMID) by transforming Aedes aegypti with the Delta Rel transgene driven by the vitellogenin (Vg) promoter using the pBac[3xP3-EGFP, afm] vector. A stable transformed line had a single copy of the Vg-Delta Rel transgene. The Vg-Delta Rel transgene expression was highly activated by...
