Figure 4. pLB1 is expressed in cells of the nervous system.
(A) Diagram summarizing pLB1 expression pattern (green lines) in the brain (A’), the Ventral Nerve Cord (VNC) (A’’) and the ovaries (A’’’). Expression pattern of pLB1QF/QUAS-GFP (pLB1>GFP) in females. In the brain (A’), pLB1 is expressed in the Sub Oesophageal Ganglion (SOG). The area in the box corresponds to unspecific transgene expression seen in the QUAS-GFP strain alone. In A’’, the expression is restricted to the Abdominal Ganglia (AbdG) that corresponds to the posterior tip of the VNC. In A’’’, lateral oviducts (LO) connecting ovaries (OV) to the central oviduct (CO) are shown. Staining is also observed in other tissues such as pericardiac cells, some enterocytes (data not shown). The scale bar corresponds to 50 µm.
