Fig. 6. (A) Real-time PCR assay for the expression of crayfish Procambarus
clarkii ECaC mRNA in antennal gland at different molting stages. Relative
quantification (RQ expressed as mean ± s.d. from three different
samples with 4-5 crayfish in each sample) was performed by normalizing the Ct
value of each sample with the Ct value of the endogenous control (18s rRNA
gene,
Ct) and finally calculated using
Ct of control (intermolt)
as calibrator. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR assay of crayfish Procambarus
clarkii ECaC (upper panel) and 18s rRNA (lower panel) in antennal gland
at different stages of molting cycle.
