-
%, Percentage of neurons that show wild-type levels of antibody staining. Numbers in parentheses refer to DA/VA motor neurons showing reduced or intermediate levels of antibody staining (see Materials and Methods). UNC-17 and ChAT expression in DA and VA motor neurons was scored as described below (see Fig. 2). Neurons were scored for DAs/VAs (126 ≤ n ≤ 416). VC vulval varicosities (n = 60) and SAB-containing processes (n = 120) were scored (see Fig. 8).
-
−, Not scored.
-
↵F1-a SAB-containing head sublateral nerve cords also include axonal processes from SAA neurons (White et al., 1986).
