Analysis of the distribution of the GFP-mediated fluorescence in the VF15.1 strain showed the
pcs-1 promoter activity in the hypodermis, the pharyngeal grinder, the pharyngeal-intestinal valve, and the bodywall and vulval muscles, but not in tissues and cell types expressing
hmt-1. Although the bulk of the GFP expression, driven by
hmt-1 or
pcs-1 promoters was found in distinct tissues, GFP in was detected in coelomocytes of both
phmt-1::GFP and
ppcs-1::GFP transgenic animals.
