Figure 5.
Induction of immune markers after infection with P. berghei. Expression levels were assayed by radioactive RT-PCR in the midgut (G) and the remaining carcass (C) of mosquitoes fed 24 hr earlier on naive (N) or parasite-infected (I) mice. Note the prominent induction of IGALE20, defensin, and GNBP in the gut, as well as ISPL5, GNBP, and defensin in the carcass. Marginal levels of induction were observed for ISP13 in the infected gut and for IGALE20 in the carcass.
