Characterization of the Gene BmEm4, a Homologue of Drosophila E(spl)m4, from the Silkworm, Bombyx mori

Figure 3

Levels of transcription and translation of BmEm4 in different developmental stages. BmEm4 expression was analyzed by Western blotting (a) and real-time qRT-PCR (b). The relative level of transcription was calculated using (1, egg; 2, first instar larva; 3, second instar larva; 4, third instar larva; 5, fourth instar larva; 6, fifth intar larva; 7, pupa; 8, moth). The results shown are representative of three independent experiments.
