Transcriptional Profile and Structural Conservation of SUMO-Specific Proteases in Schistosoma mansoni
Figure 3
SmSENPs are differentially expressed throughout the S. mansoni life cycle. The mRNA expression levels were measured based on three replicates, for each of the following stages: adult worms, cercariae, MTS-3.5 h, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 days using quantitative RT-PCR. Expression levels were calibrated according to the comparative method, using the constitutively expressed Smα-tubulin as an endogenous control (one-way variance analysis followed by Tukey pairwise comparison ). *Different from adult worm, **different from cercariae, and ***different from MTS-3.5 h.
