pat-2 functions in the muscle-mediated clearance of apoptotic MSpppaaa cells.

aPercentage of embryos with the MSpppaaa cell corpse at the indicated developmental stage, with the number of embryos scored in parentheses.bPercentage of MSpppaaa cell corpses labeled with the MYRI::mRFP or PAT-2Δcyto::GFPcircle at the indicated developmental stage, with the number of embryos scored in parentheses.cEmbryos at the stage when pharyngeal grinder formation had just finished were scored.dHomozygous progeny of unc-79(e1068) pat-2(st567); Ex[Ppat-2pat-2::gfp] mothers.eHomozygous progeny of the heterozygous cdc-42(gk388)/mIn1[mIs14 dpy-10(e128)] mothers. The transgenic worms were generated as described in Materials and Methods.a：在指定发育阶段下，携带MSpppaaa凋亡细胞的胚胎所占百分比，括号内标注了本次统计的胚胎数。 b：在指定发育阶段中，经MYRI::mRFP或PAT-2Δcyto::GFPcircle标记的MSpppaaa凋亡细胞所占百分比，括号内标注了本次统计的胚胎数。 c：统计对象为咽部磨器（pharyngeal grinder）刚完成形成阶段的胚胎。 d：实验样本为unc-79(e1068) pat-2(st567) 品系且携带附加型转基因阵列（extrachromosomal array, Ex）[Ppat-2pat-2::gfp]的母本所产生的纯合子代。 e：实验样本为杂合子cdc-42(gk388)/mIn1[mIs14 dpy-10(e128)]母本所产生的纯合子代。转基因线虫的构建方法详见材料与方法（Materials and Methods）部分。
