| Pattern | This reporter gene fusion gave the strongest GFP expression out of the three different vab-3 promoters assayed by recombineering in this series. But this GFP expression pattern was also the most restricted of the three and was still very weak. GFP expression was only seen in head neurons, usually a pair, and possibly amphids. Occasionally a few (~5) other head nerve cells showed much weaker GFP expression. In the first few generations, as the transgenic strains were being established, nerve cell processes could be seen revealed with the GFP throughout the cells, but this subsided and the GFP became more restricted to the nuclei. | Primary Identifier | Expr9757 |
