  • aThe numbers of 5-HT-positive and 5-HT-negative neurons expressing FIF and their soma cluster designation were immunohistochemically characterized in animals carrying DNA constructs for actin-FRT-Stop-FRT-Gal4, UAS:GFP, and either Trh-FIF located on the second chromosome (II) or third chromosome (III). Anti-GFP immunostaining was used to report flippase activity in combination with anti-5-HT immunostaining. Numbers indicate mean ± SD (n = 3 entire brains).
