Differential expression of <i>Giardia dhhc</i> genes in growing and encysting parasites.

<p>Expression of gla_8619, gla_1908, gla_8711, EAA36893, gla_9529, gla_16928, gla_6733, gla_96562, gla_2116 transcripts from 48 h encysting parasites (white bars) relative to the expression in growing parasites (black bars). The data are the means and SEM of three separate experiments, and each experiment was carried out in triplicate. The qRT-PCR analysis of <i>dhhc</i> genes was performed as described in <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002997#s2" target="_blank">Methods</a>. The asterisks indicate that there was significant difference compared with growing parasites (Student's t test: * p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001).
