    Expr11002 pdf-1 was expressed in both sexes in the head interneurons SAAV, SAAD, SIAV, AVB, AIM, RMG and two other unidentified ciliated neurons (possibly ASK and AFD). In the tail, pdf-1 was consistently expressed in interneurons PVN, LUA, PVT, and the pair PVS and PVU (referred to as PVP left and right in the hermaphrodite). Expression was also observed in male­-specific neurons (ventral cord neurons CP7 and CP8, and PDC) and in one unidentified interneuron, possibly PVX, in the pre­-anal ganglion.  
    Expr11371 AFD (100%), AVK (87%), DVA (83%), NSM (22%), M5 (16%), RIC/AIZ? (16%), D-type motor neurons (33%), VC motor neurons (50%), CPs (20%), PDC (12%). Percentages correspond to the fraction of animals examined that expressed GFP in the indicated neurons. Above 50% marked as certain, below as uncertain.  
    Expr1516 About 8 hour after hatching, P cells descend into the ventral nerve cord and interdigitate to form a single row of cells of P1-P12. In both sexes, mab-5 was detected in P7-P10. In older larva, mab-5 was detected in P7-P12, but not more anterior cells. In hermaphrodites, expression pattern was similar to males with two exceptions. The p(9-11).app cells and p(9-11).p cells no longer express MAB-5 by L2. In male, descendants of P10 consistently express high levels of MAB-5, those of P9 and P11 express low levels, and those of P7 and P8 express barely detectable levels. P12 descendants express MAB-5 only until the division of P12.a. The descendants of P cells express comparable levels of MAB-5 with exceptions to Pn.p cells, they express lower levels than their neighbors. Expression levels in P descendants were similar to those seen in the neighboring juvenile motoneurons. Both sets of cells expressed MAB-5 in a graded pattern, tapering off toward the anterior. In newly hatched larva, in both sexes, mab-5 was detected consistently in nuclei of P9/10 and P11/12, but not more anterior P cells. mab-5 was also detected at high levels in the posterior juvenile motoneurons, located ventrally. MAB-5 is localized to the posterior of the body, including P7-P12 in the P lineage but not in more anterior cells. Within P7-P12, MAB-5 expression was graded with the highest levels in the P10 descendants. The descendants of any one P cell expressed comparable levels of MAB-5.
