tailieunhanh - Electrophoretic characterization of anti-platelet aggregating proteins/peptides from salivary gland of rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

Ticks are economically devastating arthropod ectoparasites of livestock that exclusively feed on host blood. Ticks saliva is a crucial weapon against host-defense systems. Several small fragmented attempts are made by researchers to characterize these biomolecules. Being extremely small in size and quantity, numerous such molecules escape the deep insight of biochemists employing routine gel electrophoresis followed by Coomasie brilliant blue (CBB) staining. In a systematic manner, the present study aimed to isolate and electrophoretically characterize the salivary gland anti-platelet aggregating proteins/peptides from Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks. | Electrophoretic characterization of anti-platelet aggregating proteins peptides from salivary gland of rhipicephalus Boophilus microplus
