| Pattern | For all arrays examined, the reporter gene was expressed exclusively in hypodermal cells. In males, expression of dpy-5::gfp generally resembles that of hermaphrodites. Fluorescence is observed within the head and tail hypodermal cells, the P cells and hyp7, and is absent or of low abundance within the seam cells. This is more easily seen in a higher magnification of the tail region in which GFP is notably absent in the V5-derived seam cell, yet abundant in its sister set cell and the V6- and T-derived specialized hypodermal cells that envelope the sensory rays used in copulation. In summary, expression of the dpy-5::gfp reporter gene in the hypodermal cells begins in L1, and continues throughout larval development, ending in adulthood. In seam cells, expression is variable, suggesting that it may be regulated differently than in the hypodermal cells. | |
