Objective: To analyze the immunoreactivity of recombinant cathepsin L-like proteases (CatL) protein of Fasciola hepatica and its immunogenicity in SD rats.

Methods: The E. coli BL21(DE3) cells harbouring recombinant plasmid pET30a-FhCatL were inoculated in LB medium, and the protein expression was induced with IPTG.
