Figure 1: Tissue profile and induced expression of M. sexta Dorsal and Rel2.

Total RNA samples were prepared from different tissues of naïve larvae (A–C), or from fat body and midgut of naïve larvae or larvae injected with E. coli, S. aureus and S. cerevisiae (D–I), and cDNA was prepared by reverse transcription. Real-time PCR was performed for MsDorsal, MsRel2, and MsRel2B using ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3) gene as an internal standard.
