Fig. 4From: Identification and functional characterization of a novel arginine/ornithine transporter, a member of a cationic amino acid transporter subfamily in the Trypanosoma cruzi genomeDifferential expression of TcCAT subfamily members as determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Quantification of polysome-associated mRNA expression during metacyclogenesis >relative to that in epimastigotes in samples obtained from metacyclogenesis experiment. Ribosomal L9(gray) and histone H2B(black) were used as controls to normalize the expression of polysomal mRNAs encoding TcCAT. EPI, replicating epimastigotes; STR, nutritional stress; 3H, parasites after differentiation for 3 h; 12H, parasites after differentiation for 12 h; 24H, parasites after differentiation for 24 h; and MET, metacyclicsBack to article page
