Figure 6. Soaking B. malayi adult female worms in dsRNA results in Bm-cpl gene-specific inhibition of expression.

Figure 6

At the end of the experiment (2 d after treatment), groups of four adult female worms were removed from culture and analyzed for differences in Bm-cpl gene-specific transcript levels by qRT-PCR. The relative amounts of Bm-cpl amplicon were determined by using the comparative CT method and normalizing against the endogenous control gene (Bm-tub-1). The median value of the control group was set to 100% and the reduction in expression in the treated groups was calculated as a percentage of the control. ## denotes a significant difference between dsRNA or siRNA-treated worms and medium control, while *** denotes a significant difference between dsRNA or siRNA-treated worms and negative control (dsRNA of Ov-cpz-Int2) (Mann-Whitney U-test).
