Aedes cadherin receptor that mediates Bacillus thuringiensis Cry11A toxicity is essential for mosquito development
Fig 7
EGFP-tagged AaeCad co-localizes in the larval gut cells with the Cry11Aa toxin.
The Cry11A toxin bound to the AaeCad-EGFP in the gastric caecae (A) and posterior midgut (E), but not in the anterior midgut (C). However, when the Cry11A toxin was absent, the fluorescence could not be observed in the gastric caecae (B), anterior midgut (D) and posterior midgut (F). Bar: 50μm, but is 25μm in panels E and F.
