Profiling of proteolytic enzymes in the gut of the tick reveals an evolutionarily conserved network of aspartic and cysteine peptidases-3

Abstract

E body homogenates of eggs, unfed larvae, unfed nymphs, males, unfed females and females attached for 1 day on the guinea pigs. : Expression of peptidase mRNAs in tissues dissected from partially engorged females (the 5-th day of feeding). The abbreviations used are as in the text. IrFer shows the mRNA amplification of tick ferritin used as template loading control. (For details, see Methods).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Profiling of proteolytic enzymes in the gut of the tick reveals an evolutionarily conserved network of aspartic and cysteine peptidases"</p><p>http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/1/1/7</p><p>Parasites & Vectors 2008;1():7-7.</p><p>Published online 18 Mar 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2289814.</p><p></p
