lin-11-GFP expression can be observed from late embryonic stages throughout larval and adult stages. The
lin-11-GFP-expressing cells were identified in early larval stages. At the L1 stage,
lin-11-GFP expression is exclusively confined to neurons in the head ganglia and the lumbar ganglion in the tail. The neurons that express
lin-11-GFP in the head ganglion are the sensory neurons ADF and ADL and the interneurons AIZ and RIC. Weak
lin-11-GFP expression can be observed in the interneuron AVG that sends a process along the ventral cord. The identity of another head neuron pair that exhibits
lin-11-GFP expression could not be unambiguously determined, but because of its characteristic axonal morphology in the ventral cord, authors tentatively assigned this pair of neurons as either the AVH or AVJ interneuron.
