Abstract excerpt
The influence of xenografts of Drosophila melanogaster embryonic nerve cells on the development of embryonic neurohomografts in the adult rat brain has been investigated. Embryonic nerve cells, marked with bacterial galactosidase gene (lacZ) from D. melanogaster strain with a mutation in the Delta locus, were transplanted into adult rat brain. Drosophila cells were easily identifiable in brain histological...
