WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9843

• Pattern: Strong pharyngeal expression of GFP was seen, in the anterior and posterior bulb and elsewhere, in larval stages. Lower levels of GFP were also seen in other cells in the head; in hypodermal and muscle cells, and weakly in neuronal cells. In adults, the levels of GFP were reduced and fluorescence was seen in fewer cells. GFP was also seen in a couple of neurons in the tail. The strength of GFP expression appeared to vary considerably between individuals in the same strain.
