Investigating hsp Gene Expression in Liver of Channa striatus under Heat Stress for Understanding the Upper Thermal Acclimation

Figure 3

(a) Immunoblot analysis of Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, and -actin proteins in Channa striatus under heat stress. The variations in the protein levels in the fish exposed to high temperature (36°C) for 4, 15, and 30 days and those collected from the hot spring runoff (Atri) as compared to control (Channa collected from aquaculture ponds, 25°C) are shown. (b) Relative-fold change in the Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, and -actin (control) protein expression. *Atri-fish collected from the Atri hot spring runoff.
