Cfp Positive Larvae

Cfp positive larvae are developing animal larvae that produce cyan fluorescent protein (CFP), making specific cells, tissues, or biological activities visible under appropriate fluorescence imaging. CFP absorbs blue or near-ultraviolet light and emits cyan light, so researchers identify positive larvae by detecting this signal in living or fixed specimens. In biology, these larvae serve as fluorescent reporter models for tracking gene expression, cell lineage, tissue development, and disease-related processes over time. Their optical readout supports microscopy-based phenotyping, enables comparison between experimental groups, and helps connect genetic or cellular changes with developmental outcomes.

2025

The video demonstrates a technique for measuring glucose uptake in Drosophila larval motor neurons using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based intracellular glucose sensor. After dissecting the larvae to expose the ventral nerve cord, the motor neurons are visualized through the fluorescence emitted by the sensor's donor fluorophore. When stimulated with glucose, FRET between the sensor's donor and acceptor fluorophores triggers the emission of fluorescence from the acceptor,...

We present a novel method for microgavage of larval zebrafish utilizing standard embryo microinjection and stereomicroscopy equipment. We demonstrate that microgavage is a safe and efficient technique useful for delivering controlled amounts of diverse materials specifically into the larval zebrafish intestinal lumen.

Here we demonstrate a novel assay to study cold nociception in Drosophila larvae. This assay utilizes a custom-built Peltier probe capable of applying a focal noxious cold stimulus and results in quantifiable cold-specific behaviors. This technique will allow further cellular and molecular dissection of cold nociception.
