"TP12:kaIs(
col-19::gfp) and CB224(
dpy-11) nematodes were crossed to produce the strain TP16:
dpy-11(
e224)V;kaIs12(
col-19::gfp) that exhibited irregular COL-19::GFP patterns similar but not identical to that of TP14:
dpy-5(
e61)I;kaIs12(
col-19 ::gfp) in which annuli in the dorsal/ ventral hypodermally derived cuticle appeared as a regular, although slightly constricted pattern of bands, again consistent with the Dpy appearance (Fig. 3G,H, denoted an). Similar to
dpy-5 mutants, in these
dpy-11 mutant animals COL-19::GFP expression in the cuticle overlying the noncontracted seam cell cords was abnormal with annuli appearing branched, prematurely terminated, and occasionally absent, a pattern reflected in the fragmented and branched DPY-7 collagen pattern after antibody staining (Fig. 3H, doubleheaded arrow region)."
