Fig. 3. Adenosine (ADO) and AMP deaminase (AMP) activities in Culex quinquefasciatus salivary homogenates from adult female mosquitoes. (A) Differential spectra obtained following addition of homogenate from one pair of salivary glands to 100µmoll-1 adenosine in 100µl of HS buffer, pH7.2. (B) Differential spectra obtained following addition of homogenate from one pair of salivary glands to 100µmoll-1 AMP in 100µl of HS buffer, pH7.2. The numbers in the figure indicate the time, in minutes, that the scan was performed following the addition of the salivary homogenate.
