SDS gel electrophoretic and immunoblot patterns of the muscle fibers from Terpnosia vacua and Meimuna oparifera. A Coomassie brilliant blue-stained SDS gel electrophoretic pattern; B Western blot pattern obtained by using an antibody against flight muscle-specific troponin-I (troponin-H). Lanes a-d, Terpnosia vacua; lanes e–l, Meimuna oparifera. a and e, DLM; b and f, DVM; c and g, 3Ax; d and j, tymbal; h, basalar; i, subalar; k, tensor; l, leg (foreleg femur). The patterns were corrected for the deformation of the gels (expansion and fanning out) (applies also to Additional file 3: Figure S3)
