Figure 5. Expression Pattern of
pbo-5 and
pbo-6. Confocal images of adult animals expressing GFP fusion genes. The animals are oriented with anterior to the left and posterior to the right. Shown in left panels is an animal expressing the
pbo-5 transcriptional GFP fusion protein. Shown in right panels is an animal expressing the
pbo-6 transcriptional GFP fusion protein. Note that
pbo-5 and
pbo-6 have overlapping expression in the posterior body muscles. In addition,
pbo-5 is expressed in the head neurons RIFL, RIFR, and RIS (data not shown). Anterior fluorescence in the top
pbo-6 image is autofluorescence. The intestine of the animals is noted by a dashed white line. Arrows mark the posterior body muscle in the DIC image. Top, DIC; middle, epifluorescence; bottom, merged image. Scale bar is 50 μM.
