We utilized the YI, Y+I, +YI and +Y+I strains to detect cellular distribution of CBP.CBP has been isolated from the silk gland of Bombyx mori. Western blotting analysis demonstrated the presence of CBP only in the anteior part of midgut and the middle of the silk gland. Immunocytochemistry confirmed the presence of CBP in strains with the dominant Y gene and also verified the localization of CBP in the brush border of the midgut epithelial cells
