WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13556

• Pattern: cam-1 is broadly expressed in many cell types, including muscle, hypodermis, and neurons (Forrester et al. 1999), making direct identification of relevant cells difficult. To determine whether cam-1 is expressed in PVP and PVQ neurons, the Pcam-1::cam-1::GFP strain was crossed with hdIs26[Podr-2::CFP; Psra-6::dsRed2], which expresses CFP in PVP and dsRed in PVQ. Strong CAM-1 expression was observed in PVQ but only weak expression in PVP. CAM-1 is also expressed in PVT.
