Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A 50 kDa acidic protein, which is found within the microneme organelles of Eimeria tenella sporozoites and merozoites and called E. tenella mic-2, was cloned by immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library. The expression of the protein and its mRNA during the developmental cycle of the parasite was consistent with de novo formation of microneme organelles during both sporulation and schizogony. Although micronemal in origin, indirect immunofluorescent antibody labelling on gluraraldehyde fixed parasites, indicated that the protein was translocated to the sporozoite surface, and, during host cell invasion the protein was focussed at the point of parasite entry and secreted from the host-parasite interface. Either during or just after invasion, Et mic-2 protein became transiently dispersed over the entire surface of the infected cell. One hour after adding sporozoites to host cells, no detectable Et mic-2 protein remained on the host cell surface. A full length cDNA corresponding to Et mic-2 predicted a protein with a classical signal peptide that preceded the mature N-terminus of the protein as determined by direct microsequencing. Regions of the Et mic-2 protein have highly significant similarities to regions within Drosophila melanogaster tropomyosin II and within two known substrates of the cellular regulatory enzyme protein kinase C.
