Apyrase activity in salivary glands
5 day Mean ± SE | N | 9 day Mean ± SE | N | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Uninfected | 252 ± 61 | 6 | 252 ± 59 | 7 |
Anti-luc virus | 182 ± 49 | 7 | 272 ± 57 | 5 |
Apyrase activity was measured as the amount of monophosphate produced per microgram of salivary gland protein (PO4/μg protein). The 9-day mosquitoes were blood-fed on day 6.
