WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15171

• Pattern: We generated a fosmid-based reporter transgene for flp-34 and found consistent fluorescence in several head and tail neurons, as well as in the vulval region. The flp-34 reporter transgene was expressed in all serotonergic neurons (NSM, HSN and ADF (Horvitz et al., 1982)), validated by colocalization of the GFP signal with the expression of a red reporter transgene for tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (tph-1p::DsRed2) that encodes a serotonin biosynthesis enzyme (Sze et al., 2002). The flp-34 transgene was also expressed in the ASG sensory neurons as confirmed by colocalization with an ASG specific reporter (nlp-44p::mCherry), in the tail PHA sensory neurons as confirmed by DiI staining, and in the PLN and ALN neurons as identified by their morphology and position.
