Fig. 4From: Glutathione S-transferases play a role in the detoxification of flumethrin and chlorpyrifos in Haemaphysalis longicornisGene (a) and protein (b) expressions of HlGST of male and female ticks upon exposure to sublethal doses of flumethrin. Ticks were exposed to sublethal doses (0, 0.4, 4 and 40 μM) of flumethrin for 48 h. a Total mRNA extracted from ticks was transcribed to cDNA for real-time RT-PCR. P0 primers were used as controls. The error bar represents the mean ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05: significantly different by Welch’s t-test as compared to no treatment. b Proteins were prepared from ticks exposed to sublethal doses of acaricides. Antiserum against tubulin was used as a control for Western blot analysis. The Western blot analysis results are shown as representative data of three separate experiments showing the same trendBack to article page
