Fig. 5. dimm mRNA is expressed in a c929-like pattern of differentiating and post-embryonic peptidergic cells. (A-C) Photomontages of dimm in situ hybridization in embryonic CNS (A, stage 14; B, stage 16; C, stage 17). (D-F) Photomontages of dimm in situ hybridization in the Inka cells (D, stage 17), the peptidergic LBD neurons (LBD), which are adjacent to muscle 8 (m8) (E, stage 15), and a gut cell (mg) at the base of the anterior region of the midgut (F, stage 17). The ventral midline (D-E) is towards the left and anterior is upwards. dv, dorsal vessel; tr, tracheae. (G) Matching patterns of dimm expression revealed by in situ hybridization (G, photomontage) and the c929 reporter (G', confocal image) in the brain lobes of hatchling (first instar) larvae. The LC cells are present but out of focus in G (compare with C). The intrinsic cells of the corpora cardiaca (CC) were removed during dissection of the brain in G'. Scale bars: 50 µm in A-G; 20 µm in insets in A-C.
