thanks very much.
Peter Candido’s old hsp-16.1::lacZ strain (PC72) contains the entire hsp-16.1 coding sequence with the lacZ reporter inserted into exon 2. This strain should be available through CGC. We also have a second transgenic (PC161) with both GFP and lacZ reporters inserted at this same site (see David et al, 2003, Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 22, 111-118) – which we’d be happy to send you on request. I’ve only just joined the Worm Community Forum, otherwise I could’ve helped you out a year ago! ( david.depomerai@nottingham.ac.uk )
