Abstract excerpt
The decreased Cu,Zn SOD activity (less than 5%) in a "null" SODCA1 Drosophila melanogaster strain isolated in our laboratory is due to the insertion of a truncated P element into the transcribed region of the Cu,Zn SOD gene. Using a cDNA Cu,Zn SOD probe from a wild type D. melanogaster (F allele)...
