| Pattern | As previously reported, CeMyoD protein was detected in all of the striated muscles present at hatching . During early larval development CeMyoD protein appeared in the daughters of the M blastomere and was retained for the next four cell divisions. Differentiation of cells in the M lineage begins at this stage (designated 16-M). The 12 cells differentiating into striated body muscles remained positive for CeMyoD. The M-derived coelomocytes, also differentiating at this stage, rapidly lost CeMyoD. The two remaining cells from the 16-M stage divide once, each producing a sex myoblast and a striated muscle cell: CeMyoD was found in the striated muscle cell, but was absent both in sex myoblasts and in their sex muscle descendants. | Primary Identifier | Expr1418 |
