Picture: Figure 4G to 4R.   Expr8279 FOZI-1 expression in the M lineage was first detectable in the nuclei of M.d and M.v at the 2-M stage (in 43% of the animals stained, n=21). This expression persisted through the next three rounds of cell divisions, such that all animals (n>50) at the 4-M through to the 16-M stage showed FOZI-1 expression in the M lineage. At the 16-M stage, two cells on the ventral side (M.vlpa and M.vrpa) divide one more time to produce two SMs and two BWM precursors and reach the 18-M stage. At the 18-M stage, FOZI-1 was still detectable in the undifferentiated BWMs and CCs, but not in the SMs (n=22). This expression of FOZI-1 at the 18-M stage appeared transiently and quickly became undetectable in the differentiated BWMs and CCs. FOZI-1 expression was not detected in the SM lineage.  
CeTwist means hlh-8 here. See Expr607 for the pattern of the same locus. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).   Expr606 Immuno fluorescence staining with antisera to ceTwist indicated similar expression pattern to reporter fusion. CeTwist first detected in L1 in defecation-associated muscles and in small number of neuron-like cells in the head. In later larvae, CeTwist was detected in SMs and their descendants. Expression in M and its descendants prior to to the SM stage was detected with reporter fusion but not with antibody. Expression in mature coelomocytes was also only detected with reporter fusions.  
This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).   Expr607 3-fold embryo staining first detected in M blast cell after it had finished its posterior migration. hlh-8::gfp detected after hatching in a set of rectum-associated cells that appeared to be defecation-associated muscles (this required full-length hlh-8 genomic fragment). During larval development hlh-8::gfp detected in M cell and all undifferentiated descendants of M. This expression was lost as cells differentiated into body wall or sex muscles. Expression was maintained in the two M derived coelomocytes throughout adult life. L2 expression was seen in all four non-M-derived embryonic coelomocytes. Expression was detected in embryonic coelomocytes after the birth of both postembryonic M-derived coelomocytes. Expression also observed in head cells, likely to be neuronal. hlh-8::lacZ fusion with addition 5' sequences showed reporter activity in coelomocytes. Expression in all these cells were nuclear localized both with gfp and lacZ.  
    Expr13686 UNC-130::GFP expression is not detectable in the early M lineage from the 1-M to the 4-M stage. Beginning at the 8-M stage and continuing through the 18-M stage, UNC-130::GFP expression is visible in all the ventral, but not in any of the dorsal, M lineage cells. It was noticed that M.vlp and M.vrp and their descendants exhibited relatively higher levels of UNC-130::GFP expression than their anterior counterparts.  
    Expr13687 UNC-130::GFP expression is not detectable in the early M lineage from the 1-M to the 4-M stage. Beginning at the 8-M stage and continuing through the 18-M stage, UNC-130::GFP expression is visible in all the ventral, but not in any of the dorsal, M lineage cells. It was noticed that M.vlp and M.vrp and their descendants exhibited relatively higher levels of UNC-130::GFP expression than their anterior counterparts.
