Fig. 6From: Caspase-8 in Labeo rohita is evolutionary conserved and is activated in Aeromonas hydrophila and Edwardsiella tarda infection and rhabdovirus vaccinationCaspase-8 gene expression profile in Labeo rohita following A. hydrophila infection. Labeo rohita fingerlings (n = 3) were injected with A. hydrophila (1 × 106 CFU/fish) by intra-peritoneal (i.p.) route. After 24, 48, and 72 h, total RNA was extracted from the gill, liver, kidney, spleen, and blood, and then, caspase-8 and β-actin gene expression in these tissues were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Expression of caspase-8 gene in each tissue was normalized to the β-actin gene, and relative expression of caspase-8 has been shown as fold changes compared to the un-treated control fish (n = 3). a Gill. b Kidney. c Liver. d Spleen. e BloodBack to article page
