Saglin transcript and protein detection in female Anopheles gambiae salivary glands. The transcript levels of Saglin in the salivary glands of female An. gambiae relative to the transcript levels of the S7 ribosomal protein gene are shown as the the mean fold difference ± standard deviation. The data show the results of three independent biological replicate experiments (i.e. three independent collections of salivary glands) with transcript levels within each replicate being measured in triplicate. The results of a Western blot showing Saglin protein expression are shown above the histogram
