Characterization of co-factor proteins for prophenoloxidase activation in insects
(2022-12)Melanization is a key part of insect innate immunity, which is mainly induced in host after pathogen invasion. Phenoloxidase (PO) is a crucial component to catalyze melanization. As PO is not stable in insects, it is ... -
Quantitative Transcriptome and Proteome Analyses of Immunity-related Molecules in Manduca Sexta Larval Hemolymph
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)This study explores immunity-related molecules in Manduca sexta larvae by studying the quantitative change of mRNAs and proteins after immune challenge. To investigate the mRNA level changes, we isolated mRNA samples from ...
