PatternLAG-1::mKate2, revealed a dynamic expression pattern in the VPCs during vulval induction. In order to achieve a more quantitative analysis, and potentially reveal more subtle dynamics, we quantitated LAG-1::GFP fluorescence, as GFP appeared brighter overall than mKate2. We observed that both LAG-1::GFP and LAG-1::mKate2 accumulated to a higher level in P5.p and P7.p compared with other VPCs (secondary fate pattern). This accumulation pattern is consistent with LIN-12 activation in the VPCs and suggests a positive feedback mechanism.
