Figure 3: Representative qPCR analysis of unc-17-neuron specific markers (tph-1, unc-47 and snb-1) in whole-animal versus unc-17::GFP reporter cell isolates confirming specific enrichment of cholinergic neurons of interest.
Additional negative controls used here were myo-3::GFP reporter-expressing muscle cells, which had been isolated following the same protocol. Data show mean values ± SD (n = 3 biological replicates). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 by paired t test. This figure has been modified from Germany et al.12.
