The expression of
flp-11 in the
uv1 cells was confirmed using a Pflp-11:: GFP transcriptional reporter. Consistent with previous reports,
flp-11:: GFP fluorescence was observed in head and tail neurons, and also prominently in the
uv1 cells and VC4 and VC5 motor neurons. While
flp-11::GFP expression is evident in at least one
uv1 cell of all adults tested, and remains detectable throughout adulthood, the number of
uv1s labeled is somewhat variable across individuals.
