Figure 4. Expression profiles of AgAQP3. RT-qPCR revealed the expression of AgAQP3 in A. gambiae.
(A) during different developmental stages (fourth-instar larvae, pupae, 1-, 3-, 6- and 8-day-old female or male adults); (B) in different tissues dissected from 7-day-old female adults (Malpighian tubules, whole gut [Gut], fat body, whole head, ovary); (C) sugar fed (white bars) or blood fed (black bars) mosquitoes up to 3 days post-feeding. AgAPQ3 mRNA levels are normalised to S7 ribosomal mRNA. Data are represented as mean ± SD. n.s., no significant difference by Student’s t-test.
