Proteome analysis of S. damnosum s.l. salivary proteins.

Protein bands of interest were cut from a Coomassie G-250-stained SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The obtained data were screened against available cDNA libraries of Simuliidae, Culicoides nubeculosus, and Culicoides sonorensis. The identified proteins per gel region are listed according to their intensity with their GenBank accession number, the name of the protein, the species, and its molecular weight. Identified proteins highlighted in bold are the most intensely present per gel region.
