Fig. 4. Protein profile of heat-shocked and reference Rimicaris exoculata abdomen samples (4 µg total protein well^-1) as shown on a silver-stained 10% gel. The `reference' lane shows individuals from Expt 2 (24 h; 15°C); the `heat-shock' lane shows individuals from Expt 4 (24 h; 25°C heat shock; see Materials and methods). Arrowheads indicate bands of interest that are not apparent or are poorly represented in the reference samples and are visible in the heat-shocked samples at molecular masses of approximately 205 kDa, 90 kDa and 70 kDa.
