Worms expressing a fosmid-recombineered GFP transgene for
npr-11 showed fluorescence in several head and tail neurons. This transgene confirmed the previously reported expression of
npr-11 in AIA interneurons (Chalasani et al., 2010). In addition, we observed
npr-11 expression in ASK and ADL sensory neurons, validated by DiI staining of amphid neurons, as well as in several unidentified cells in the head. In the tail, the
npr-11 reporter transgene was expressed in PVQ and most likely in DVA or DVC neurons.
