Figure 2From: A trehalose 6-phosphate synthase gene of the hemocytes of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus: cloning, the expression, its enzyme activity and relationship to hemolymph trehalose levelsSpatial distribution of TPS gene in cDNAs of various tissues of adult male and female of C. sapidus. TPSF2 and TPSR1 primers as listed in Table 1 was used for PCR amplification with 12.5 ng of total RNA equivalent of each tissue. Arginine kinase served for a reference gene.
