Figure 4. Expression profiles of ferritins. A-H,
ftn-1::gfp expression worms observed under DIC (A, C, E and G) and fluorescent microscope (B, D, F and H). Transgenic animals show GFP expression in the intestine of wild-type (A and C) and
ftn-2(
ok404) (E and G) on normal NGM plate. I-L,
ftn-2::gfp expression worms observed under DIC (I and K) and fluorescent microscope (J and L). Transgenic animals show GFP expression in pharyngeal muscle and hypodermis of wild-type on normal NGM plate.
ftn-1::gfp expression worms on FAC containing plates show much stronger GFP expression and bright dotted pattern (compare AB with EF and CD with GH).
ftn-2::gfp expression worms on FAC plate were not much induced (compare IJ with KL).
ftn-1::gfp expression level was strongly increased in
ftn-2(
ok404) (compare EF with GH).
ftn-2::gfp expression level was not much induced in FAC (compare IJ with KL). The bar represents 100 um.
