Can you express opsins via viral injections/retrograde viruses in Drosophilia?

11 February 2015 0 9K Report

can you express opsins via viral injections in drosophilia? is this technique viable in these animals? For example, if one wanted to express a CAV2-cre retrograde virus that only expresses, for example, channelrhodopsin upon the encounter of a cre-dependent virus (AAV) in a different part of the circuit..could this be done in these animals?
