Induction expression of cecropin-TY1 in the salivary glands of horsefly T. yao. The transcription levels of cecropin-TY1 at different time course were normalized to β-actin. Induction expression levels of cecropin-TY1 in the salivary glands after bacterial feeding were calculated relative to the level of that in control group at 0 h, which was arbitrarily defined as 1. At 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h post feeding, the fold increase of control groups are 13.4, 24.1, 16.4, 12.4, 6.8 and 4.24, and the fold increase of bacterially challenged groups are 26.6, 57.1, 80.5, 65.3, 43.3 and 26.8, respectively. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. *P <0.05, **P < 0.01, values of bacterial feeding groups are significantly different from control groups at different time points as indicated (n = 40)
