For line pPMS101 1E12, the central number indicates lacZ≫AP. In this line, >99% of expressing cones show intense lacZ activity and extremely low levels of AP activity. Faint AP staining is detectable only in the outer segments, a region of high-membrane content that is largely devoid of lacZ activity (Fig. 2H).
