FIG. 6.

EcR/USP, FISC, and βFtz-F1 are translocated into the nucleus of the fat body after blood feeding. The fat body was stained with polyclonal antibodies against EcR (green), FISC (red), and βFtz-F1 (green). Cells were also stained with DAPI to visualize nuclei (blue). Stained fat body trophocyte cells were examined using confocal microscopy. Note the altered cellular distribution of EcR and FISC in fat bodies with downregulated βFtz-F1 expression (βFtz-F1 RNAi). WT, uninjected A. aegypti Rockefeller/UGAL strain.
