Fluorescence appeared in both the pcnc-2::mCherry and pcnc-2::GFP reporter strains when worms were infected with D. coniospora at any and all stages. The cnc-2 reporter genes were expressed exclusively in the epidermis. Authors found no induction of expression of either reporter gene after infection with the bacterial pathogens S. marcescens and P. aeruginosa or exposure to high salt.

For sprr-2, we observed expression in around 10 neuron pairs in the head, of which the cellular identity was confirmed for the main salt-sensory ASE neurons as well as the ASI and AWB chemosensory neurons. In addition, sprr-2 expression localized to the SDQ neurons in the midbody and was also evident in 3 tail neurons, one of which corresponds to the DA8 or DA9 motor neuron.
