TypeIn_situUsing sense and antisense probes to nos-2
Patternmaternal RNAs are preferentially maintained in germline blastomeres. In some embryos hybridized to the nos-2 probe, in situ signal appeared concentrated in small dots around the nuclei of germline blastomeres. The majority of nos-2 positive foci were also recognized by the K76 antibody for P granules. Not all nos-2 transcripts, however, appear to be localized on P granules, since significant levels of nos-2 RNA could also be detected throughout the cytoplasm of somatic blastomeres that do not contain P granules.
