Fig. 4From: The RIO protein kinase-encoding gene Sj-riok-2 is involved in key reproductive processes in Schistosoma japonicum Transcriptional profiles of Sj-riok-2 detected in different developmental stages of Schistosoma japoncium by real-time PCR. Relative expression levels of transcripts were analyzed by the 2-△△Ct method, and Sj-β-tubulin was used as internal standard. Data are representative of the mean ± SD of three separate experiments. All stages were compared with the cercariae stage, and statistically significant differences are shown as ** (P = 0.001) and *** (P < 0.0001); ### represents the significant difference (P < 0.0001) in transcript abundances between female and male wormsBack to article page
