From: Humoral responses in Rhodnius prolixus: bacterial feeding induces differential patterns of antibacterial activity and enhances mRNA levels of antimicrobial peptides in the midgut

Figure 3

Relative transcript abundance of antimicrobial peptides and lysozymes encoding mRNA in Rhodnius prolixus midgut wall. Anterior and posterior midgut samples collected before feeding (unfed), 1 and 7 days after a blood meal. A- Relative mRNA levels in anterior midgut. B- Relative mRNA levels in posterior midgut. DAF – days after feeding. U – unfed insects. Error bars represent SD of three independent experiments. Asterisks relates to significant differences (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001) obtained after data analyses using one way ANOVA and unpaired t tests.
