18. 3 excretory/secretory products. Western blots using a polyclonal antibody against recombinant ASP 1 were used to characterize the kinetics of ASP 1 release. These experiments indicate that ASP 1 is released prior to the resumption of feeding, suggesting that feeding and ASP 1 secretion are independent events in the activation pathway.

The activity is inhibited by the zinc chelator 1,10-phenanthroline, indicating that the enzyme is a metalloprotease. This is the first report of a proteolytic activity associated with the resumption of development in hookworms.
