Fig. 2. Induced expression of C. elegans Pax2/5/8 genes protects
germline cells from apoptosis. (A) Induced expression of either
egl-38 or pax-2 reduces germline apoptosis. Data presented
as in Fig. 1. (B)
Western blot for heat-treated lines in A, showing expression of the
FLAG-tagged proteins. (C) Germline apoptosis assay in an
engulfment-defective mutant background (ced-6) to increase the
baseline number of cell corpses. Data presented as in
Fig. 1.
