Application

Schneider′s insect medium has been used:
  • to culture Drosophila neuronal cell line (BG3-c2 cells)[1]
  • to cultivate subcultures of Leishmania major for promastigote growth inhibition assay[2]
  • to seed purified ookinetes with Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells to assess the effect of the avermectin compound on cell development and to promote oocyte development[3]

Originally developed for the culture of Drosophila; suitable for culture of other dipteran cell lines.

CP110 is a conserved centriole protein implicated in the regulation of cell division, centriole duplication, and centriole length and in the suppression of ciliogenesis. Surprisingly, we report that mutant flies lacking CP110 (CP110Δ) were viable and fertile and had no

Painful or threatening experiences trigger escape responses that are guided by nociceptive neuronal circuitry. Although some components of this circuitry are known and conserved across animals, how this circuitry is regulated at the genetic and developmental levels is mostly unknown.

Wolbachia, an alpha-proteobacterium closely related to Rickettsia, is a maternally transmitted, intracellular symbiont of arthropods and nematodes. Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are naturally infected with Wolbachia strains wAlbA and wAlbB. Cell line Aa23 established from Ae. albopictus embryos retains only wAlbB

Questions

  1. Is it possible to freeze this medium ? I'll need to use only a few millilitres for each dissections of fly brains so it'll be great if I could freeze it in smaller containers to extend the shelf life period.

    1 answer
    1. This medium has not been evaluated for freezer storage. The thawing process may cause precipitation of some salts. The end user may determine the suitability experimentally by freezing a small test volume. It is advisable to thaw the product slowly to minimize the chance of precipitation. Thaw the sample slowly, overnight in a refrigerator., if possible It will very likely be suitable if the resulting thawed medium is clear, colorless, and free of particulate matter. Do not add serum or supplements prior to freezing the test sample.
