Fig. 3. let-7 mir-84 adults express gfp reporters associated
with molting. (A-D) Animals were cultivated at 25°C following
release from starvation at the early L1 stage. (A) Prevalence of fluorescence
from mlt-10p::gfp-pest, as detected with a Zeiss SV-6 microscope.
Each sample contained 52 or more animals. Data were collected in three
experiments to cover all time points. Error bars indicate the standard
deviation from the mean in cases where two populations of animals were
observed at the same time point. (B) Fluorescence from
mlt-10p::gfp-pest in adults cultivated for 56 hours. (C) Western blot
showing GFP in protein extracts from late L4-stage or gravid adults
cultivated, respectively, for 41 or 56 hours. Each strain carried the
mgIs49[mlt-10p::gfp-pest] transgene. Levels of ß-tubulin provide
a loading control. (D) Fluorescence from nas-37p::gfp-pest in
adults.
