From: Bacterial feeding, Leishmania infection and distinct infection routes induce differential defensin expression in Lutzomyia longipalpis

Figure 2

Defensin expression analysis in L. longipalpis developmental stages. Relative defensin gene expression (normalized against the housekeeping internal control gene 60S rRNA) was determined for feeding larval stages (L3 and L4-f), non-feeding stages (L4 and pupae) and recently emerged female L. longipalpis. Bar charts represent mean ± SEM of 3 pools of 3 insects. Asterisk indicates statistical significance at P < 0.05.
