Subcellular_localizationP20-6D showed prominent staining of the cell bodies and processes of the two largest cells in the retrovesicular ganglion. These cells are the AVF-like cells, so called because they resemble the AVF neurons of C. elegans; their cell bodies have a characteristic knobbly appearance due to membrane invaginations. In the ventral cord both cells have processes that project both anteriorly and posteriorly and run together as a pair of fibers in the cord. The anterior processes extend to the nerve ring, where they both enter the ring to the left, traverse the ring, reenter the ventral nerve cord, and terminate in the ventral ganglion, often branching into a varicose plexus. As each neurite passes the lateral lines, it sends fine processes into the lateral ganglia and down each lateral line, giving rise to a pair of very small fibers. The posterior AVF processes run the length of the ventral cord, terminating in a plexus in the preanal ganglion.

PatternThere was also prominent staining of a single cell in the ventral ganglion. This unpaired cell sends a process to the ventral midline of the nerve ring, where it gives rise to two fine branches, one in each side of the ring. This cell resembles the RIR cell of C. elegans. Six sensory neurons, one in each of the subdorsal and subventral and anterior lateral ganglia, stained consistently although weakly.
