ABSTRACT
Changes in polypeptides pattern of haemolymph, midgut, ovary and salivary glands of female mosquito A. stephensi were studied when fed upon anti-mosquito haemolymph antibodies. The expression of almost all polypeptides was reduced in haemolymph and ovary of the immune fed mosquitoes as compared to control. However, there was no significant difference in case of midgut and salivary glands. Seven polypeptides 100, 90, 84, 80, 62, 19 and 12.5 kDa were absent in haemolymph and five 92, 90, 80, 60 and 55 kDa were absent in ovaries. Changes in the polypeptide pattern have been correlated with the fecundity reduction due to immunized blood feeding.
