WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9814

• Pattern: Intestinal GFP expression was observed from the L1 to the adult. The GFP was largely nuclear-localized but with some cytoplasmic fluorescence. GFP may have been present in the P cell lineages in the L1, in the hypodermis either side of the head, and possibly some body wall muscle in the head. Vulval and rectal GFP expression may be in muscle cells. UL4026 showed stronger GFP expression than UL4025 or UL4008, but this was still weaker than observed for strains expressing N-terminal reporter fusions for klf-3, generated by a similar strategy (see UL4047 and UL4006).
