Figure 4From: Characterization of a novel cysteine protease in Trichinella spiralis and its role in larval intrusion, development and fecundityTsGSCP transcription and expression in the lifecycle of T. spiralis. A qPCR assay of TsGSCP transcription in different worm phases. B Western blot results showing TsGSCP expression in different stages based on three independent densitometry tests. The relative transcription and expression level of TsGSCP at the IIL stage was clearly higher than at other worm stages (*P < 0.05).Back to article page
