WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9818

• Pattern: GFP was observed in the M cell in the L1 and in all Mv cell daughters giving rise to the sex muscles in the L4. The GFP was occasionally maintained in vulval muscle cell nuclei into the adult. GFP expression was also seen in muscles in the head, in vulval and uterine precursors in L2s and L3s, and in several neurons in the head and ventral nerve cord from L2 to adult. There was also GFP expression in the intestine but this was inconsistent. (The images are of strain UL4037 which exhibited broader and stronger expression than UL3567, which had very weak GFP expression).

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.	ventral cord neuron	ventral cord motoneuron	WBbt:0005300
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
