WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13153

• Pattern: A yfp-lect-2 knock in strain showed bright YFP signals in coelomocytes. In addition to the bright fluorescence in the coelomocytes, YFP was also detected as stripe patterns that correspond to neuropils and commissures. In particular, LECT-2::YFP localizes to the sublateral nerve cord and muscle borders where the 3rd PVD dendrite elaborates and commissures where many of the 2o PVD dendrites grow along.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.	coelomocyte		WBbt:0005751
