Fig. 2. Embryonic origin of subsets of neurons and nonneuronal cells in the
pharyngeal sense organs, as shown by HRP injection at the syncytial blastoderm
stage (A D) and by FLPout (Wong et al.,
2002) induced in F1 embryos of the cross MJ94 x
y w hs-flp; Sp/CyO; UAS>CD2
y+>mCD8-GFP (E-L). (E-L) Neuronal nuclei are labeled with
anti-Elav antibody (red). (A-C') HRP product is present in dendritic
tips of the lso sensillum 7 (A: arrow) and of the vcso (B: arrow), as well as
in dendrites, cell bodies and axons of dcso neurons (consecutive sections
C,C': arrows). (D) Fishtrap bristles labeled by MJ94/UAS-lacZ
(arrows) lack HRP staining, in contrast to the vcso (arrowhead). (E-I) When
FLPouts are induced in the MJ94 line at 12-24 hours after egg laying
(AEL), single neurons are labeled in the lso, in both sensillum 7 (composed of
eight neurons) (E-G: 7) and the mononeuronal sensilla 1-6 (G: 3). By contrast,
the bineuronal sensilla 8 and 9 always exhibit paired labeled neurons (H,I:
arrows). Simultaneous labeling of two sensilla suggests the occurrence of two
independent FLPout events (F,G). (J) FLPouts induced earlier (6-18 hours AEL)
lead to simultaneous label in many neurons (e.g. three in sensillum 7). (K,L)
FLPout induced at 12-24 hours AEL invariably leads to single labeled neurons
in the multineuronal sensilla of the vcso (K) and dcso (L). The two large
neurons in K (arrows) are outside the vcso. ftb, fishtrap bristles. Distal is
to the bottom except in (A) in which distal is to the left. F shows both left
and right lso. Scale bars, 20 µm (A shows scale for A-D; E shows scale for
E-L).
