The effect of dsRNA mediated knockdowns of putative clam STAT genes on Vibrio infection as evidenced by measuring the infection-induced apoptosis index. a The efficiency and specificity of dsRNA knockdowns were verified by the Realtime PCR analysis. N = 5. b Two Vibrio infection induced apoptosis index (%) of hemocytes were assessed after knockdowns the STAT genes. Clams injected with dsRNA for GFP were used as controls. N = 5
