Fig. 4From: Functional characterization of two clip domain serine proteases in innate immune responses of Aedes aegyptiKnockdown of Ae-CLIPB15 by RNA interference (RNAi) (a) and its effect on the survival of adult mosquitoes after Escherichia coli (b), Staphylococcus aureus (c) and Beauveria bassiana (d) infection. The mRNA expression levels of Ae-CLIPB15 were examined by qPCR after double-stranded (ds) RNA injection (dsAe-CLIPB15). The expression profiles were compared using two-way ANOVA in GraphPad software; data are presented as means ± SD, n = 3. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
