Expression of the C-type lectin gene clec-60. A promoter fusion, clec-60p::GFP, was expressed in adults in the posterior intestine cells, int-8 (i8) and int-9 (i9) on both OP50 (A) and MBL plates (B,C). The variation in the intensity and extent of the GFP signal within infected worms is evident in B and C. (D) RT–PCR experiment showing F21C10.10 and clec-60 (top bands) expression compared with ama-1 (control, bottom band a) in uninfected (U) and infected (I) worms.
