Figure 5. Knockdown of thioredoxin reductase and evaluation gene expressions of select antioxidants in knocked down tick tissues.

Figure 5

AmTrxR transcript depletion was seen in the midguts (66.15%) and salivary glands (99.7%) indicating successful knockdown. The normalized fold change in transcriptional expression of selected antioxidant genes in thioredoxin reductase depleted midgut and salivary gland tissues are shown. The transcript level of each candidate gene in the tissues injected with dsLacZ was set to 1.0 as a reference point. Gene expression was normalized against the tick β-actin gene (* p<0.01; ** p<0.05).
