Evaluating DNA damage response through immunofluorescence staining of primordial germ cells in Caenorhabditis elegans L1 larva

Summary: C. elegans L1 larvae have two well-defined primordial germ cells embedded in a niche comprising two somatic gonad precursor cells. Thus, C. elegans provides an ideal model for studying intercellular signaling in response to DNA damage. However, existing staining protocols are focused on wor...
