(A) Embryonic expression of pR13A1-4lacZ in late stage ZB167 embryos.(B) L2 stage ZB167: staining in the ventral nerve cord is apparent. Arrows indicate the ASH cell bodies.(C-E) Representative neurons staining in ZB166 adults that are mosaic for the presence of the pR13A1-4lacZ reporter construct. Note that a slight distortion in process morphology and positioning appears because transgenic animals express rol-6(su1006), which causes the body to have a twisted configuration.(C) Staining of PDA, PDB, and DA motor neuron processes helps confirm cell identities. PDA has a cell body situated in the preanal ganglion and a process that crosses the body and turns to run anteriorly; PDB has a cell body situated in the preanal ganglion that extends nearly to the end of the tail where it turns back to run anteriorly; the white arrow highlights the PDB process. DA motor neurons have cell bodies in the ventral cord; processes cross the body and extend anteriorly.(D) DA and DB motor neurons in the ventral cord extend processes that cross the body and extend along the dorsal side.(E) FLP sensory neuron with identifying processes that project anteriorly and encircle the pharynx. Arrowheads indicate FLP cell bodies. The more anterior faintly staining cells are the two ASH neurons; the more posterior darkly staining cell with an anteriorly directed process is a VA motor neuron. | |||
