Representative 2-DE gels of salivary gland proteins extracted from 80 female mosquitoes at different ages.

Abstract

<p>(A) 0 day, (B) 1 days, (C) 3 days, (D) 12 days, (E) 16 days, and (F) 21 days old. Molecular mass markers are indicated on the left in kDa. Isoelectric points (pI) are indicated at the top. Arrows indicate major salivary gland proteins. Arrowhead indicates an internal control protein. Numbers are corresponding to the major salivary gland proteins in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0163810#pone.0163810.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. The large spot at the base of the right side gels of Fig 1A and B is an artifact of separation. It was seen on the three gels shown with these samples only.</p
