pheromone induced larval display defective

Animals are not induced to display surface antigens by exposure to pheromone as observed for Bristol N2 animals.

surface antigenicity variant

Cuticles of animals or cuticular extracts exhibit an altered pattern of antibody binding compared to Bristol N2 animals of the same developmental stage.

constitutive larval display

Animals display surface antigens throughout all larval stages, unlike Bristol N2 worms, which display the antigens only during one larval stage.

surface antigen negative

Cuticles or cuticular extracts do not bind antibodies that are observed to bind the surfaces or cuticular extracts of Bristol N2 animals of the same developmental stage.

differential touch sensitivity variant

Animals differ from control animals in response to mechanical stimulation targeting different parts of the same cell. In N2 wild-type animals, response to touch near the ALM cell body is reduced compared with touch of the cell area near the second pharyngeal bulb.
