lin-33(n1043)- and lin-24(n432)-induced Pn.p cell death is partially dependent on genes that mediate the removal of apoptotic corpses
| Genotype | Average no. of Pn.p nuclei ± SD |
|---|---|
| Wild type | 11 |
| lin-33(n1043) | 6.5 ± 1.4 |
| ced-2(e1752) lin-33(n1043) | 9.0 ± 1.1 |
| ced-6(n1813); lin-33(n1043) ced-5(n1812) | 10.1 ± 0.8 |
| lin-24(n432) | 7.6 ± 1.6 |
| ced-2(e1752) lin-24(n432) | 10.6 ± 0.6 |
| ced-6(n1813); ced-5(n1812) lin-24(n432) | 9.8 ± 0.9 |
The average number of Pn.p nuclei per animal was determined by counting the number of Pn.p nuclei present ∼24 hr after hatching using Nomarski optics. Twenty animals were examined for each strain.
