title: In vitro acetylcholinesterase secretion by male or female Heligmosomoides polygyrus.
abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) secreted in vitro by adult male and female Heligmosomoides polygyrus were assayed over a 4-day period using a micro-method. The rate of AChE secretion by 1, 2 or 4 worms was approximately linear, and three times higher for male worms than for female worms.
