Expression profiles of selected chemosensory genes. Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) assays were performed using gene specific primer pairs and cDNAs from different adult tissue: MVA – male virgin antennae, FVA – female virgin antennae, MVPR – male virgin proboscis, FVPR, female virgin proboscis, MVBR – male virgin brain, FVBR – female virgin brain. PCR products were analyzed on agarose gels pre-stained with Gel Red dye. Ribosomal protein, SlitRPL8, was used as a positive control for all samples
