The influence of AA injection on the RNAi effect induced by the feeding of dsRNA in D. melanogaster. (A) mRNA accumulation of the target gene after feeding ds-Dmrpl19 followed by injecting AA. (B) Subcellular localization of Cy3-labelled ds-Dmrpl19 in midgut tissue of D. melanogaster after the injection of AA. The scale bar represents 25 μm. Normalized target gene mRNA accumulation is reported relative to mRNA accumulation in the ds-egfp control, which was set to 1. All error bars represent the S.E. of the mean of three independent biological replicates. * indicates a statistically significant difference in rpl19 mRNA accumulation between the feeding ds-rpl19 group and the control ds-egfp group (P < 0.05, Student’s t-test).
