Comparison of GFP expression patterns elicited by 69B-Gal4 driver from the BDSC line #1774 with the Repo expression pattern in the CNS and eye-antennal imaginal discs from third-instar larvae. Maximum intensity projections of confocal images of tissues stained with anti-Repo antibodies are shown. a-d In the CNS and eye-antennal imaginal discs, the GFP expression pattern overlaps with that of Repo just in individual groups of cells (arrowheads). e-h In the eye-antennal imaginal discs, the broad GFP expression pattern overlaps with the Repo protein expression pattern only in the optic stalk and in the posterior part of the eye disc. i-l The GFP and Repo expression patterns in the VNC are not overlapping. m-p The GFP and Repo signals minimally overlap in the central brain and optic lobes; cells showing both signals are indicated by arrowheads. CB, central brain; OL, optic lobe; ED, eye imaginal disc; a, anterior part of the disc; p, posterior part of the disc; VNC, ventral nerve cord. Scale bars: a-d, 200 μm; e-p, 100 μm
