Rhodnius prolixus serotonin receptor type 2b (Rhopr5HTR2b) transcript expression profile in fifth instar tissues determined by qPCR. (A) Rhopr5HTR2b transcript expression examined in fifth-instar tissues pooled from both male and female insects (except for sex-specific reproductive tissues). Relative expression is shown relative to levels in the CNS. (B) Rhopr5HTR2b transcript expression in MTs from unfed fifth instar and insects dissected at several time points up to 24 h post-blood meal engorgement. CNS, central nervous system; DV, dorsal vessel; Tr FB Dia Abn, trachea, fat body, dorsal/ventral diaphragm, and abdominal nerves; FG, foregut; SG, salivary gland; AMG, anterior midgut; PMG, posterior midgut; MTs, Malpighian tubule; HG, hindgut; PG FB, prothoracic gland and associated fat body; Male repro, male reproductive tissue; Female repro, female reproductive tissue.
