Two secreted cystatins of the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata: differential expression pattern and inhibitory specificity
{{output}}
Two genes coding for cysteine peptidase inhibitors of the cystatin family (Om-cystatin 1 and 2) were isolated from a gut-specific cDNA library of the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata. Both cystatins were clearly down-regulated after a blood meal. Om-cystatin 1 i... ...
