A modified minimal hemolymph-like solution, HL3.1, for physiological recordings at the neuromuscular junctions of normal and mutant Drosophila larvae.

Abstract excerpt

The hemolymph-like HL3 saline(Stewart et al., 1994)and standard saline(Jan & Jan, 1976)are two widely used bathing solutions for physiological recordings at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction. It has been established that longevity of larval preparations is better maintained in HL3 saline. However, HL3 can produce results that are inconsistent with previous findings in standard saline, particularly on...
