Scavenger receptor mediates systemic RNA interference in ticks.

Scavenger receptor mediates systemic RNA interference in ticks.

RNA interference is an efficient method to silence gene and protein expressions. Here, the class B scavenger receptor CD36 (SRB) mediated the uptake of exogenous dsRNAs in the induction of the RNAi responses in ticks. Unfed female Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks were injected with a single or a comb...
