Then, we used qPCR to examine the expression of a panel of Atg (Atg5, Atg7, Atg10, and Atg12), p62 and P53, a transcription factor that transactivates a panel of Atg genes in Drosophila31, between Ago2-/- mutants and WT mosquitoes in response to infection with different arboviruses. Here, ATG12 is linked to infection.
