AaeALP1 knockdown mosquitoes show increased tolerance to Cry11Aa and Cry11Ba. Bioassay was performed with early 4th instar larvae after 39°C heat shock for 1 hr at the 2nd instar. Wild-type and homozygous transgenic mosquitoes larvae were exposed to Cry4Aa (A), Cry4Ba (B), Cry11Aa (C) and Cry11Ba (D) crude toxins. AaeALP1 knockdown mosquitoes without heat shock showed no difference in toxicity to Cry11Aa (E) and Cry11Ba (F) toxins. The bioassay data was analyzed by Probit and Origin software. Transgenic mosquitoes showed more tolerance to the Cry11Aa (by 4.4 fold) and Cry11Ba (by 1.8 fold) toxins, but not to Cry4Aa and Cry4Ba toxins.
