PatternIFP-1 was strongly expressed in the intestine and pharynx, as previously reported. Low levels of neuronal expression might have been obscured by robust nonneuronal expression. To test this, the authors used RNAi to reduce the GFP signal in nonneuronal cells, since neurons in C. elegans are refractory to systemic RNAi. In Pifp-1-GFP transgenic animals with dampened intestinal and pharyngeal GFP expression, weak GFP expression was observed in the VNC and some head neurons, which colocalized with a synaptic marker expressed in D neurons.
