eng Abstract:
Dynamics of the main digestive peptidases involved in digestion of host blood in the hard tick Ixodes ricinus were studied. Gene expression profiles of the particular enzymes were determined by qRT-PCR. Enzyme activities were determined using specific fluorescent probes. Midgut morphology during blood feeding was observed and immunolocalization of the main abundant peptidase - Cathepsin B - was performed.
