Strain Genotype Species Description
BZ555 egIs1 IV. C. elegans egIs1 [dat-1p::GFP]; reportedly maps to LG IV. Bright GFP observable in dopamine neuronal soma and processes. For some reason this strain is resistant to neurotoxic effects of 6-OHDA compared to an independent strain BY200 (Nass et al., 2002). Or maybe BY200 is more sensitive to 6-OHDA due to its co-injection marker gene rol-6?
BZ873 aaim-1(ok295) X. C. elegans Dopamine receptor knockout. [NOTE: (3/3/2025) ok295 was previously described as an allele of dop-3/T14E8.4, but is actually an allele of aaim-1/T14E8.4.1 according to current gene models.] Derived by out-crossing parental strain RB563. Outer Left Sequence: ttgctccagcggttctagtt. Outer Right Sequence: gactgtctaagcgaccagcc. Inner Left Sequence: ttgtttgcgggtttgataca. Inner Right Sequence: agaagcacgcggtagttgat. Inner Primer PCR Length: 3254. Estimated Deletion Size: about 1000 bp.
