| Pattern | Adult animals that contained the transgene produced GFP within two pairs of head neurons and within at least two cells in the posterior pharynx bulb. Diffuse staining was also observed throughout the pharynx. The morphology and location of one pair suggested that they might be IL or URA neurons. GFP expression was first seen early in embryogenesis (~100 cell stage) in the anterior of the embryo. By the time of embryonic elongation, staining was observed in specific cells in the anterior of the embryo and a few cellular projections . Several cells in the posterior and the midbody of the embryo also expressed GFP at this stage. By hatching, the GFP expression became restricted to a few cells in the head, and a pair of cells in the tail. GFP were not detected in QR descendants. GFP was not detected in ALMs at the 3-fold stage. | Primary Identifier | Expr3645 |
| Remark | Identical patterns of expression were detected in two independently produced transgenic lines. |
