Additional Information
Statement
Reference

ScerGAL4GSG5629 drives mifepristone-inducible expression primarily in neurons and glial cells. Weak expression is observed in scattered cells throughout ventral nerve cord in a patter that is not highly segmentally repeated. Expression is also observed in unpaired cells, possibly glial, at the ventral midline. Weak patchy expression is observed in scattered cells, possibly glia, in the brain. Weak expression is observed in the tracheal innervating neurons (md-td). Weak expression is observed in the NMJs of muscles 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the anterior-most segments. There is faint uninduced expression in the salivary glands and occasional CNS cell at the midline.
