WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9680

• Pattern: Animals transgenic for a chromosomally integrated array of either madd-4Bp::YFP or madd-4Bp::RFP (called trIs79 and trIs80, respectively) expressed fluorescent protein in all commissural motor neurons and in no other cell types within the body (as opposed to the head). Through a mosaic analysis of animals harboring an extrachromosomal array of madd-4Bp::YFP, we found that the madd-4B promoter also drives expression in the head neurons RIA, RIC, lateral IL1s, lateral IL2s, OLLs, RMEs, and SABs. YFP may also be expressed in AVH, AVKL, and ASG, and AIZ. We also observed madd-4B-driven YFP expression during embryogenesis in the blast cells and corresponding terminally differentiated ventral cord motor neurons and head neurons. MADD-4B::YFP (trIs57) is localized to both the ventral and dorsal nerve cords.
