Figure 6From: ATP synthesis is active on the cell surface of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and is suppressed by WSSV infection Effect on shrimp survival after silencing of the bp53 gene. (A), Endogenous bp53 mRNA expression after dsRNA injection. BP53 group: bp53-specific dsRNA injection; GFP group: gfp-specific dsRNA injection. Representative gels of RT-PCR products of bp53 (482 bp) and ef (187 bp, internal control) mRNAs from hemolymph collected at different time points. Label 2 log M indicates the 0.1-10.0 kb DNA ladder marker, while h = hours and D = days post-injection. (B), The cumulative mortality after dsRNA injection without WSSV challenge. BP53 group: bp53-specific dsRNA injection; GFP group: gfp-specific dsRNA injection; NaCl group: NaCl injection instead of any dsRNA.Back to article page
