Proteomic Biomarkers for Ageing the Mosquito <em>Aedes aegypti</em> to Determine Risk of Pathogen Transmission by Leon E. Hugo (252728)

“…Using the 2-D Difference Gel Electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) procedure, we investigated the abundance of up to 898 proteins from the Yellow Fever and dengue virus vector, <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, during ageing. By applying a mixed-effects model of protein expression, we identified five common patterns of abundance change during ageing and demonstrated an age-related decrease in variance for four of these. …”
