Lethal(1) aberrant immune response mutations leading to melanotic tumor formation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1991

Abstract excerpt

Using P element-mediated mutagenesis we have isolated 20 X-linked lethal mutations, representing at least 14 complementation groups, which exhibit melanotic tumor phenotypes. We present the systematic analysis of this interesting group of lethal mutations that were selected for their visible mela...
