WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1988

• Pattern: Observed many worms staining of cell bodies and processes of NSMs, identified as serotonergic neurons in the pharynx. Occasionally saw one or two small cells in the head in the location of other unknown serotonergic neurons. In a few hermaphrodites, identified a cell near the vulva located sublaterally and with a process extending ventrally as HSN. Also stained 6 neurons with processes in the ventral nerve cord, identified as CP neurons. No staining of dopaminergic neurons.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1988
• Remark: This antibody recognize both bas-2 and tph-1, see Expr1235. Worms were prepared differently in Expr1235 and Expr1988 to highlight either hypodermal or neuronal staining.
• Subcellular Localization: Neuronal cell bodies and processes.
