Figure 1. Anatomical expression patterns of fktf-1β::gfp::fktf-1b.

Figure 1

DIC and fluorescence images of transgenic S. stercoralis larvae. Each DIC image is a separate individual. All scale bars = 10 µm. (A,B) Transgenic first-stage larvae with GFP expression in the procorpus (arrow) of the pharynx. (C,D) Expression of the GFP::FKTF-1b(wt) transgene in the hypodermis of an L1. (E,F) Transgenic L3i expressing the GFP::FKTF-1b(wt) fusion protein in the hypodermis and a narrow band in the pharynx (arrow). (G) Sites of gfp expression under the direction of the fktf-1β promoter in 125 transgenic first-stage larvae from five or more experiments expressing gfp reporters under the direction of fktf-1β promoter. Due to variations in transformation rates between experiments, all transgenic larvae were pooled to quantify expression patterns. χ2 test, P = 2.9E-14.
