3 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr11516
• Pattern: The developmental profiles of Cbr-puf-2 and Cbr-puf-1.2 mRNA levels are qualitatively similar and are typical of germ line-expressed genes: low expression from embryo to L2 stages, slightly increasing expression at L3 and L4, and peak levels in adults. However, Cbr-puf-2 is over 100-fold more abundant than Cbr-puf-1.2.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12465
• Pattern: A ppa-eud-1 transcriptional reporter was expressed in several classes of somatic and pharyngeal neurons, and RFP expression was seen consistently in all postembryonic stages.

• Primary Identifier: Expr11506
• Pattern: In C remanei both larval and adult males produce high levels of fog-3, but neither larval nor adult females produce detectable levels of this message.

	The life-stage that begins when a B. malayi individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. Adult B. malayi (or at least adult females) can live for 10 years in a human host, and can outlive their rodent laboratory hosts; it is usual to state the chronological age of the nematodes in days or months post-infection, and occasionally post-patency (the production of first microfilariae).
