| Pattern | Expression of the reporter gene was observed in the touch cell AVM and its sister, the interneuron SDQR. A number of neurons in the head and tail regions were also observed to express the unc-2::GFP reporter gene. Neurons identified in the head included the olfactory sensory cells AWC. GFP expression was also observed in both the HSN and VC neurons. Cells expressing GFP in the tail region included the GABAergic neuron DVB. | ||
| GFP fluorescence was found to be primarily localized within the nervous system. Expression was first observed late in embryogenesis at ~450 min of development when most neurons have been generated, and continued throughout development to the adult stage. GFP expression was observed only a subset of pharyngeal muscle cells but not in other types of muscle tissues. The unc-2 reporter gene was expressed in most motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord, nerve ring motoneurons-interneurons, and the touch cells. | |||
