The overall goal of this procedure is to monitor prion-like spreading of protein aggregates in vivo. Using transgenic flies that express an aggregation prone protein in a soluble version of the same protein in isolated cell populations. This metho

Accumulating evidence supports the idea that pathogenic protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases spread between cells with prion-like properties. Here, we describe a method that enables visualization of cell-to-cell spreading of prion-like aggregates in the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster.
