Flies expressing dnr1Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB using heat shock show a significantly reduced viability upon septic injury with E.coli compared to control flies.
Expression of dnr1Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 driven by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU significantly rescues neurodegeneration in dnr12-133/Df(2R)X58-12 flies.
