Check out this cool work from @samantsidis and @Vectorimmunlab using An gambiae transgenic lines we helped them create!
With some help from @UMDITF, we tested multiple candidate hemocyte promoters to drive fluorescent markers in mosquito immune cells. While not every promoter worked, we did have success with three promoters, SPARC, PPO6, and LRIM15
