Abstract:

The present invention provides assay methods for identifying agents that affect a secretory pathway in an invertebrate pest cell. The methods are useful for identifying agents that modulate a secretory pathway in an invertebrate pest cell, and that are therefore useful as pesticidal agents. The invention further provides methods for identifying secretory pathway proteins in an invertebrate pest cell, which secretory pathway proteins serve as targets for pesticides. The method further provides pesticidal agents identified using the assay methods of the instant invention.

Abstract:

An electrical crimp connector includes a plurality of dimples disposed between an outer surface of a crimping body and an inner surface of a polymeric envelope, with an insulating gel being disposed in a space between the crimping body and the envelope formed by the dimples. Upon crimping the connector, the insulating gel is forced into an interior cavity of the connector thus insulating wires being crimped.
