Secretions were induced from second (invasive) stage juveniles (J2s) of the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis
by exposing them to 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyl tryptamine oxalate (DMT). Secretions were collected from J2s in sufficient
quantity to allow direct analysis. Gel electrophoresis followed by monochromatic silver staining demonstrated the presence
of at least 10 proteins. The presence of several enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and proteases, was demonstrated
using Western blots and activity assays. Antisera raised against the secretions recognized bands on Western blots consistent
in molecular mass with those identified on silver stained gels. The antisera recognized structures implicated in the
production of secretions including the subventral gland cells and surface of J2s.
