Fig 7. Aedronc regulates Casps7 transcription following a blood meal.

Fig 7

MR females 2-3 days post eclosion were injected with either dsAedronc or dsB-gal, and then fed a naïve artificial blood meal 48 HPI. Females were collected at 0 and 36 h PBM. Total RNA was extracted and transcript from Casps7 was quantified via qRTPCR. Aedronc knockdown decreased Casps7 transcript following a blood meal, but not before. Expression is represented as Relative Quantitation (RQ) compared to dsB-gal-treated females. Each data point represents mean expression (n=3-5 replicates; pools of 5 whole mosquitoes per replicate). Error bars represent standard error of means. Statistical comparisons were performed using Student's t-test. *** p<0.001.
