Effects of SEF-knockdown on selenogenes and antioxidant genes.

Abstract

<p>Normalized fold change in the transcriptional activity of selected selenogenes and associated antioxidant genes in the salivary glands of pathogen-free <i>A. maculatum</i> blood fed seven days and preceded by SEF-dsRNA injection. The transcriptional level of each candidate gene in tissues injected with LacZ-dsRNA was set to 1.0 as a reference point. </p
