Also expressed in (comments from author) : High intensity GFP interferes with tissue identification Strain: BC10608 [F22A3.1::gfp] transcriptional fusion. PCR products were amplified using primer A: 5' [GTTGAAAAATTTCCCCGTAGG] 3' and primer B 5' [TAAGCAGCAGTCATATTGAACAGT] 3'. Expr5820 Adult Expression: pharynx; intestine; unidentified cells in head; unidentified cells in body ;unidentified cells in tail ; Larval Expression: pharynx; intestine; unidentified cells in head; unidentified cells in body ;unidentified cells in tail ;  
Picture: Fig 4.   Expr9131 Robust GFP expression for both constructs was observed in the intestinal cells of transgenic worms starting at the 3-fold embryonic stage and was maintained through larval development and in the adult. GFP expression was also seen in several cells of the anterior and posterior bulbs of the pharynx and in seam cells. Lastly, ets-4 expression was observed in a few unidentified cells of the vulva, hypodermal nuclei, several unidentified neurons, labial socket cells of the head, and a few cells of the rectum. Thus, these results expanded the observations made in previous studies using shorter regions of the ets-4 promoter in GFP constructs and demonstrated ets-4 expression in the intestine and neurons, key tissues known to regulate longevity in worms.  
Clone: pUL#JS9A5   Expr7515 Expression is seen in the full length of the intestine from late embryo onwards. Only two lines were obtained for this reporter gene fusion but both show the same pattern of expression.  
    Expr12966 ets-4 showed pan-germline expression. Reporter expression was observed in the distal region of the germline, in mitotic progenitor cells, as well as in the syncytial region, in the germline bend, in oocytes, and in embryos. ets-4 reporter expression remained strong in sperm (n=12/23), suggesting that at least some 3'UTRs can direct retention of sperm specific expression.  
No detailed description on expression patterns in other life stages. Reporter gene fusion type not specified.   Expr2425 In adult hermaphrodites, F22A3.1 reporter expression was observed in the inner and outer labial socket cells of the head. F22A3.1 is expressed strongly in the seam cells within the hypodermal ridges, which extend bilaterally along the length of the exterior body wall. During the first larval stage, F22A3.1 also demonstrated expression in P-cells, the ventral hypodermal precursors, some of which form the vulva. In general, F22A3.1 seems to be quite specific to hypodermal tissues and is probably expressed in all hypodermal cells including glial-like cells.
