Combined ttr-39::mCherry and flp-13::GFP co-expression marks DD neurons in the L2 (only a few mCherry+/GFP+ DD neurons will show up briefly in the L2 stage and gene silencing apparently dims the GFP marker over time). VD neurons can be identified by mCherry alone, no GFP. Derived by crossing parental strains CZ8332 and NY2037. Can be used to isolate VB neurons by FACS.
