• Primary Identifier: Expr163
• Remark: Other strain-- UL844
• Pattern: Expression is seen in the cells of the E-lineage from the 8E cell stage. Consistent with this expression is seen in all intestinal cells in larvae and adults. Some anterior expression in the head hypodermis and pharynx is also occasionally seen.

• Primary Identifier: Expr9110
• Remark: Picture: Figure 7A.
• Pattern: This promoter drives expression in the pharynx and the first anterior intestinal cells (Int1) (100 +/- 0% of the animals) Though there is no GFP expression in the hypodermis under well-fed conditions, GFP expression was specifically upregulated in this tissue on food withdrawal (84 +/- 1% of the animals) . When authors provided starved animals with food, GFP expression in the hypodermis rapidly disappeared.

• Primary Identifier: Expr103
• Remark: Other strain-- UL123
• Pattern: This strain exhibits strong expression in the embryo. Expression is first seen in the 50-80 cell embryo and extends through to adulthood. It appears that most of the AB cells in the embryo stain, and what appears to be the cells of the C lineage. Some embryos exhibit staining in the two rows of nuclei that are the E lineage. All embryonic staining is very intense, and it spreads to the cytoplasm giving blue embryos, therefore obscuring the DAPI staining, making it difficult to count the number of cells in the embryos as each component begins expressing. This intense staining fades as the embryo ages, sometimes leaving blue comma stage embryos with no distinct nuclei staining. Hypodermal expression is seen in the 3 fold stage of embryogenesis and in young larvae which most probably are C-derived hyp-7 nuclei. Expression weakens as the worm gets older and is much less frequently expressed in adults. Some adults do show staining in the anterior hypodermal nuclei (hyp-3, hyp-4) and in the anterior hypodermal seam cells, also some nuclei stain in the tail.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15811
• Pattern: Under standard laboratory culture conditions, clec-4p::GFP was constitutively expressed in the intestine of worms throughout all developmental stages. However, expression of clec-4p::GFP seemed to be decreased in L4s and adults, in which a strong GFP signal could only be observed in the first intestinal ring (int1) and the posterior intestine. In addition to its intestinal expression, clec-4p::GFP is constitutively expressed in amphid neurons from the first larval to the adult stage.

• Primary Identifier: Expr118
• Remark: Other strain-- UL511
• Pattern: Expression is first seen in precomma stage embryos, in as yet unidentified nuclei. In comma stage embryos staining is seen in the intestinal precursors, and other cells including possibly members of the C cell lineage. In 3-fold embryos and through till L3 stage larvae, expression appears as pairs of nuclei down the body starting anteriorly of the metacorpus, probably hyp-7. There is also a lot of diffuse staining in the head and pharynx. In larvae strong expression is seen in the intestinal nuclei. At L4 stage this expression starts to fade, and fewer nuclei are seen to stain. In adults the expression is reduced to a handful of nuclei (from 1-10) around the pharynx. Sometimes in adults a few anterior intestinal nuclei continue to show expression.

• Primary Identifier: Expr621
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: High level of gut cell staining in all developmental stages except embryos. There was variability in intensity and the number of gut cells staining between individuals of the same transgenic lines. A small number of transformants within each line showed expression in all gut cells but the majority showed staining restricted to the most anterior (Int1) the mid anterior (Int2 and Int3) and the mid gut cells (Int4, 5 and 6). Both intensity and frequency of expression decreased from the most anterior to the mid-gut region. A few worms stained only in posterior gut cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr654
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: L1-adulthood expression restricted to gut. Most anterior gut cells (int 1) and those on posterior third of the body stain most strongly. Remainder of gut does not express reporter. No embryonic expression.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1585
• Remark: F-11 antigen cDNA was isolated and found located on C05E4, with GenBank accession number U23159. Blast search traced it to C05E4.14, also known as srh-2.
• Pattern: Expression associated with developing intestine and body wall muscle cells. About 4-6 faintly labeled E-derived cells were detected at about 100-cell embryos, Eight E-derived cells were more prominently labeled in 250-cell embryo. Body wall muscle cells were first detected with the mAb in addition to the complement of 20 intestinal cells at about 450-cell embryos. Native gut fluorescent was not visible.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2123
• Remark: Clone = pUL#L450A Strain = UL925
• Pattern: Expression is seen in the E-cell lineage and intestinal cells throughout embryonic development and in early larval stages. This gene has homology to hexose transporters.

• Primary Identifier: Expr672
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: First detection at 2E cell stage and persists in E lineage throughout embryogenesis (expression pattern same as Ab).

• Primary Identifier: Expr673
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: ELT-2 protein first detected at 2E cell stage (half way through cell cycle and following E-cell ingression associated with gastrulation). At 44-46 cell stage, expression is observed in 2E cells. During all subsequent stages of embryogenesis, ELT-2 protein is detected in all gut lineage, staining is nuclear localized. Protein persists in nuclei of all gut cells, in all larval stages, as well as in adults. Above pattern for male and hermaphrodite.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10593
• Pattern: Consistent GFP expression was observed in the posteriormost int9 intestinal cells. Weaker expression was observed with lower penetrance in the four cells of the anteriormost int1 intestinal cells. No expression was observed in the body-wall muscle, enteric muscle, or neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12680
• Pattern: K04F10.2 is expressed in many or most ciliated (neuronal) cells, with little or no expression in non-ciliated cells, besides two intestinal cells, Int1/Int8.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15813
• Pattern: clec-42p::mCherry is constitutively expressed only in int1 and only at the four larval stages, not in adults

• Primary Identifier: Expr15815
• Pattern: clec-43, is exclusively expressed in int1

embryonic cell	Earaa		WBbt:0005959
any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
