Calcium-binding protein is an indispensable protein which performs extensive and important functions in the growth of Schistosoma japonicum.Based on our primary study on tegument surface proteins of S.japonicun,a cDNA encoding a 66 kDa calcium-binding protein of S.japonicum(Chinese strain) was cloned,sequence analysis revealed that it was identical with that of SjIrV1 of Philippines strains S.japonicum.The expression of SjIrV1 were detected by Real-time PCR,using cDNA templates isolated from 7,14,21,28,35 a...
