PatternGFP accumulated in late embryos, all larval stages, and adult animals. dkf-2 promoter activity was robust but restricted to 18 cells comprising the intestine and two additional cells positioned near the posterior bulb of the pharynx. Apparently, the remaining 98% of somatic cells of the nematode generate few or no DKF-2 transcripts.

RemarkPatterns of GFP expression were similar in multiple, independently created lines of transgenic animals. The same developmental and cell-specific expression patterns were observed in C. elegans that contained a transgene encoding GFP-tagged DKF-2 under control of dkf-2 promoter/enhancer DNA.
