Fig. 3. Expression pattern of
sti-1. Transgenic animals having the full length of the genomic
sti-1 DNA fragment (3.9 kb) fused to the GFP coding region. (a) Expression was detected in the whole body of worms. Expression is predominantly observed in pharyngeal muscles (arrowhead), vulva epithelial cells (arrows), (b) intestines, and (c) body-wall muscles. Arrows in (c) indicate striated muscles. (d and f) Immunostained embryos with anti-STI-1 antibodies showed cytoplasmic localization of
sti-1 in early-stage embryos. (e and g) 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole staining of the same embryos showed the positions of nuclei.
