Fig. 2. Broad (BR) protein expression pattern after heat induction of BR-Z3 at 5 h
of the second instar. (A) BR proteins were detected in all tissues by an
anti-BR core region antibody at 12 h after the heat shock. (B) At 18 h only
trace amounts of BR protein remain in the fat body. BR is also found in
certain cells in the CNS, as in normal second instar larvae (F). (C) By 24 h
after the heat shock, BR proteins were only detected in the CNS, as in the
normal second instar larva (F), indicating that all heat-induced BR proteins
were catabolized by that time. (D) A new round of br expression began
around 36 h after the heat shock, and (E) high levels of BR were seen in the
imaginal discs at 72 h. Abbreviations: ad, antenna disc; br, brain; cns,
central nervous system; ed, eye disc; epd, epidermis; fb, fat body; ld, leg
disc; sg, salivary gland; wd, wing disc.
