From: Relish2 mediates bursicon homodimer-induced prophylactic immunity in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Expression of bursicon transcript (A) and AMP genes (B–F) during the indicated life stages. Att, attacin; CecA, Cecropin A; DefA, Defensin A; DefB, Defensin B; Dpt, Diptericin. The histogram bars represent mean relative accumulation of mRNA encoding each burs subunit, error bars indicate 1 SD, n = 3 independent biological replications. The asterisk indicates significant difference (*P < 0.05). Bars annotated with the same letter are not significantly different, P < 0.05. Data are normalized to the expression level of burs α or each AMP gene of 1st instar larvae. 1 L, 1st instar larvae; 2 L, 2nd instar larvae; 3 L, 3rd instar larvae; 4 L, 4th instar larvae; CP, callow pupae; BP, black pupae; A0, adult 0 h; A0.5, adult 0.5 h; A3, adult 3 h; A6, adult 6 h; A12, adult 12 h; A48, adult 48 h.
