PatternMost of the GFP produced from pCHE-2::GFP3 was localized at the cilia of most ciliated sensory neurons. This could be seen most clearly in amphid sensory neurons, whose cilia are fasciculated. The processes and cell bodies showed only faint fluorescence, and the nuclei were not fluorescent. The che-2::GFP transgenics pCHE-2::GFP1 and pCHE-2::GFP2 first expressed GFP in some head neurons between the comma and 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis. The number of cells expressing GFP increased, as the development proceeded to the adult stage. The expression at the adult stage was detected in all the amphid sensory neurons except AFD, phasmid neurons PHA and PHB, all the inner and outer labial neurons (IL1, IL2, OLQ and OLL), CEP, PDE, FLP, PQR, and three unidentified neurons (perhaps AQR and ADEL/R). Thus, che-2 seems to be expressed in all the ciliated sensory neurons except BAG and AFD. GFP expression in N2 male tails, where there are many male-specific sensory neurons required for mating behavior. GFP was expressed at least in all the rays, which have ciliated sensory neurons.
