Candidates isolated from Trichinella spiralis muscle stage larvae (mL1s) expressed sequence tag (EST) datasets.
| Name/Identifier | mL1 | Adult | Homologies and EST cluster numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| grn-1 | 17 | – | Granulin domains (TSC00180) |
| sml-1 | 17 | – | Novel (TSC00585, TSC02174, TSC01706) |
| gp45 | 15 | 21 | Similar to serine proteinases (TSC00054, TSC03042, TSC01842) (Arasu et al., 1994) |
| 9.10/mcd-1/sml-2 | 12 | 62 | Contains three domains with weak similarity to type II cystatins (TSC01154, TSC00403, TSC03060, TSC03972, TSC05407, TSC03642, TSC03713, TSC02468, TSC03015) (Robinson et al., 2007) |
| 11.3/sml-3 | 8 | 8 | Novel (TSC00935, TSC00437) |
Shown are the top five candidates identified in the informatics screen of the T. spiralis mL1s EST dataset. The columns next to the identifier show the number of ESTs for each transcript that were identified in the T. spiralis mL1s and adult EST datasets. Homologies to sequences contained within GenBank and the NEMBASE cluster numbers from which the ESTs are derived are also shown (Parkinson et al., 2004. No NBL ESTs were members of the clusters derived from these genes.
