Differential expression of Ac-cathB-2 gene in the life cycle of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. a Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to measure the expression of Ac-cathB-2 gene throughout the life-cycle stages of A. cantonensis, with β-actin as an internal reference. The data are presented as relative quantities and the average amount of Ac-cathB-2 gene expression in male adults was taken as 1. b Equal amounts of ESPs from L3 (Lane 1), female adults (Lane 2), male adults (Lane 3), female L5 (Lane 4) and male L5 (Lane 5) were subjected to western blot assay. The native Ac-cathB-2 in these samples was visualised with the antiserum against Ac-cathB-2
