Figure 5. Eliminating integrin signaling proteins by RNAi in neurons.
(a, b) The plots show the touch response (out of five touches) of Punc-119sid-1-expressing worms (a), Pmec-18sid-1; sid-1 worms (b, grey bars) or Pmec-18sid-1; sid-1; lin-5b worms (b, white bars) fed bacteria making dsRNA for the indicated genes. In (a), combined results for three strains (TU3270, TU3311, and TU3401, see Methods for details) are shown, because all gave similar results. Values are mean response ± S.E.M, 20 adult animals/plate; numbers indicate the number of plates examined.
