Analysis of a partial knock-down of mosGILT and the impact on sporozoite cell traversal (a) RT-qPCR of SGs injected with either dsRNA targeting an irrelevant luciferase gene or mosGILT. Data represent duplicate experiments from more than three experiments (mean ± SD, unpaired t-test, ***p < 0.0005). b Western blots of SGs from dsluc or dsmosGILT injected mosquitoes. c Cell traversal assay of murine hepatic cells incubated with P. berghei sporozoites isolated from dsluc or dsmosGILT salivary glands (2000 sporozoites/well). Cell traversal by sporozoites was analyzed on a Stratedigm flow cytometer by measuring the percentage of fluorescent dextran positive cells. Each point represents a technical replicate pooled from two independent experiments (n = 7, ns not significant)
