RESUMO
We have studied developmental stage-specificity and genetic specification of surface antigens in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Rabbit antisera directed against the adult C. elegans cuticle were used in conjunction with antiserum adsorption experiments to obtain antibody reagents with specificity for the adult surface. Adult-specific antibodies were used to identify several varietal strains of C. elegans that display antigen-negative phenotypes as adults. Genetic mapping results using the surface antigen phenotype as a marker indicated that a single gene (designated srf-1) or cluster of genes on linkage group II determines the adult surface antigen phenotype.
