ELP-1 is expressed in diverse muscle cellular junctions. (A) A triplet of dots surrounds the fusiform-shaped body wall muscle cell. ELP-1::GFP is located throughout the muscle arms (arrowheads) that make junctions with the ventral nerve cord. The nucleus is shown in this plane of focus. (B) ELP-1::GFP is located at the adhesion sites of the male-specific sex muscles (boxed insert). The auto-fluorescent spicules of the male tail are visible. A body wall muscle cell is observed below the sex-muscle adhesion sites. The cell is outlined with triplet dots. Dotted arrows show a linear expression pattern in this body wall muscle cell. Bar represents 10 μm.
