SILENCING ENDOGENOUS CALCIUM SIGNALLING COMPONENTS USING<br />

RNA INTERFERENCE<br />

We have generated a number of S2 cell lines expressing metabotropic and ionotropic<br />

receptors (for review see [2]).<br />

Figure 2: <strong>Calcium</strong> imaging in Drosophila S2 cells A: S2-DM1 cells (an S2 cell<br />

line stably expressing a Drosophila muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (DM1)) in<br />

normal saline stained with fura-2 AM. B: The same cells following a <strong>20</strong> s<br />

application of 100 M carbamylcholine, a muscarinic receptor agonist.<br />

The Drosophila S2 cell line stably expressing a cloned muscarinic acetylcholine receptor<br />

(mAChR, DM1) [Fig 2] has been used to explore the utility of gene silencing by double-<br />
