Figure 4. Alternations of CgIκB2 mRNA and haemocyte phagocytosis and apoptosis rate after knock-down of CgIκB2 in vivo.

Konck-down of CgIκB2 was conducted in vivo by injection of dsRNA designed by http://sidirect2.rnai.jp/ with default settings (a). Expression changes of CgIκB2 mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR at 24 h post the injection (b). Phagocytosis and apoptosis rate of haemocytes were also surveyed (c). Significant differences were marked with different letters (a, b, c etc.) if p < 0.05.
