WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14671

• Pattern: The lin-11-int3p::GFP (pGLC59) transgenic lines that contain the entire intron 3 sequence showed GFP reporter expression in seven neurons at the larval stage L4. These include two sensory neurons (ADL and ADF), four interneurons (AVJ, RIC, AIZ, and RIF) and one pioneer interneuron (AVG). Expression was also detected in embryos. Because some of the lin-11 neurons are specified in the embryo, lin-11::GFP was expected to be expressed in these neurons during their specification. Consistent with this, GFP fluorescence was observed as early as in the pre-gastrula stage in the presumptive head and tail regions. By the 3-fold embryonic stage, fluorescence could be seen in neuronal cells in the anterior region. GFP fluorescence in ADL, ADF and AVJ was very strong and observed in almost all animals. Fluorescence was less frequently observed in RIC and AIZ and was rarely seen in RIF and AVG.
